Dick Boss in Texas No 2 (1947) by Alfred Mazure printed in The Netherlands (English language)
A 212 page booklet published by The Literary Press Ltd, London. Dick 'Bos' was created by Alfred Mazure ('Maz') in 1940 and was the Netherlands first comic book hero. A private eye fluent in six languages, Dick was a black belt in Judo, an expert in Jiu-Jitsu and a crack shot. During the German occupation the huge popularity of Dick Boss's Adventures came to the attention of the Nazi propaganda machine who offered Mazure safe status if he transformed Boss into a Nazi spy. Maz refused and his publications were subsequently banned until the end of the war. Amazingly the Germans had no idea that he was a member of the Dutch resistance! Today Dick Boss and his creator have legendary status and their scarce original 1 and 2 publications are keenly collected. The booklet measures 4½ x 3 ins with illustrations to all 212 story pages [fn-]
