Background
Background
Steeman and Brandt produced the first ten.
The eponymous Roel Dijkstra is a Dutch football player inspired by Johan Cruijff. He started out as a player with the local football club "FC Leidrecht", then moved on to "FC Hadfort" in the United Kingdom, "FC Union" in Corsica, and then "FC Rapiditas" in Spain before returning to "FC LeIdrecht". The story revolves around Dijkstra and his difficulties adjusting to life in a foreign country, shifty club bosses, friendship with fellow players, and football championships. In 2017 and 2018 two more volumes were released, Thuisfront (Homefront) and Pamplona,. Both were serialised in the revived Eppo-magazine.
