What kind of story is "very good" - a combination of 
very good artwork having a very good script I guess?

I'm sure there must have been at least stories "very good" 
Danish stories in Dutch weeklies. Since it's hard to say 
what You are considering "very good" here's fifteen 
examples: Please, see these recent stories below:

If you find none of them being "very good" - then I 
really don't know. In that case maybe You could provide 
us some examples about "very good" Dutch stories? :)


It's a sad thing that our weeklies are so limited.
Lot's of material produced in Holland is never seen in 
elsewhere - and lot's of Danish production is never seen 
in Holland. 
E.g. Egmont's mouse stories in Dutch weeklies: there has 
not been many long stories in Dutch weekly Donald Duck:

DD1994-01-04: D 90030  MM  De verdwenen trein (16 pages, Ferioli)
DD1997-34-36: D 89262  MM  Ballerina's en geboefte (15 pages, Ferioli)

Read them carefully - Those stories are worth seeing!
Some of Ferioli's other Mickey stories have been seen in 
other Disney comic series in Holland, but in the last decade 
in Egmont weeklies there was published over 50 multi-part 
Mickey -stories drawn by Ferioli. Can you imagine of that? 
It really had some "special kind of continuity" you can't 
find from weeklies filled with short fillers.

BTW - If someone wants to see the other publications for 
those stories mentioned above then see them from INDUCKS:
