Jan Kruis

Jan Kruis (b. June 8, 1933 in Rotterdam) is a Dutch comics artist.

He began creating comics as a child. Later he worked for the Dutch comics pioneer Marten Toonder.

Kruis started his own comics career drawing "Prins Freddie" for the magazine "De Havenloods", but became famous thanks to his series of one-pagers, called "Jan, Jans en de kinderen" (Jack, Jacky & the Juniors). It first appeared in the woman's magazine "Libelle" on December 12 1970. In German-speaking Switzerland, it appeared in the magazine "Spick" which targeted children and teenagers; and in Germany "Favorit" published it for some time under the name "Ulli, Ulla und die Kinder".

Kruis received the Order of the Netherlands Lion in 1996. Two years later he retired. Daughter Andrea Kruis has followed her father's footsteps.
