Den

The beginning of 1996: One of the first ever made Den web site "What!? Strips! CORBEN" by Jonas and Karel Van Poucke, was made both in English (http://allserv.rug.ac.be/~jvpoucke/english/den/corben.htm/) and in Dutch (http://allserv.rug.ac.be/~jvpoucke/den/corben.htm/).

The April 23, 1999 version says, "Last modified 09/08/96", and "On 15 july 1996, we received a message". That might mean that the site was on the air already early 1996...

Aug. 27, 1997: I was searching something complete different from my oldie CD backups and found out that my The unofficial Richard Corben fan site (Comicography of Richard Corben) was started already in Fall 1997. That was after my visit in London, England from where I found the book The Official Underground and Newave Comix Price Guide (by Jay Kennedy, 1982). Those days I based my site completely on book's info. My CD backup was made in April 7, 1998 and it was pretty ready designed basic for my later (May 10, 1999) published web site. Each page incl. full size cover art if available (see sample page).
