Henk Kuijpers (born 10 December 1946 in Haarlem, Netherlands)[1] is a comics artist most famous for his Franka series.
Kuijpers' Franka comics work features a strong model-like female sleuth solving mysteries, often in exotic locales. The series' images are drawn in strong lines with balanced weight, a style often classified as ligne claire.[2]
Kuijpers received the Stripschapprijs prize in 1990.[3]
