Dutch Comics Poll - 1997

There is a home page to this poll, but it is entirely in Dutch.

Dutch Comics Poll - 4th edition - May 1997

(The official name of this poll is 'Strip Top Allertijden', which means
as much as 'a poll of all comics ever made.)

These are the short results of the Dutch Comics Poll, 4th edition. The
complete results and more information about the poll are available only 
in Dutch on http://www.xs4all.nl/~collin/strips/poll.html. If you want 
to know more, send me an e-mail at collin@xs4all.nl.

The poll was held amongst subscribers of the Dutch Comics Mailinglist and
on a few relevant newsgroups.

Fourteen people voted.

In each categorie a maximum of 20 points could be given to each nominee.
Nominees with more than 20 points therefore must have had votes from more
than one voter. The short results show only these nominees.

Because the way the points were given differs vastly from last year, I 
didn't add last year's positions in the rankings.

Language note: Only in a few cases I knew the original or translated names
and titles. In most cases you will find the Dutch names. However, with a 
little deduction you should be able to determine from the names of the 
heroes and of the series what stories you're reading about. 

The lay-out of below list is as follows:
position - points - nominee - additional info (author, series)
