Amsterdam Weekly Marks 100th Issue With Special Comics EditionThe free cultural paper Amsterdam Weekly publishes its 100th issue on Wednesday in a special comics issue exploring "The Past, Present and Future of Amsterdam".
Contributors include some of the city's top cartoonists, including Femke Hiemstra (with the paper's cover image), Erik Kriek, Wasco, Milan Hulsing, Maaike Hartjes, Mark Hendriks, Farida Laan, Floor de Goede and Peter van Dongen.
The issue is being curated by Tonio van Vugt, one of the founders of the influential Dutch comics journal Zone 5300. Over the years Zone 5300 has premiered some of the most innovative cartoonists working today.
One of the cartoon views of the future, drawn by Amsterdam artist Wasco, is a mock tourist board poster hyping "The Drowned City of Amsterdam."
