Heintje was published by the Dutch publisher Albert Heijn N.V., Zaandam in the Netherlands from January 1967 to May 1969.

History

The comics magazine for youth, Heintje, was published in the years 1967 to 1969 by the largest Dutch supermarket chain, "Albert Heijn BV" - named after his founder Albert Heijn (1865-1945) - with the aim of making those supermarkets attractive to young people and to support sales. It was distributed in that own circuit, at a very affordable price (12 cents with the purchase of margarine or butter articles).

The first issue (on January 26,1967) was free and printed at 600.000 copies, a big number for this kind of distribution and considering a global population of around 12.210.000 people at the time.

The magazine presents various comic characters, such as "Mandrake de Magiër" (Mandrake the Magician), "De Fantoom" (The Phantom), "Geheim X-9" (Secret Agent X-9), “De gemaskerde ruiter” ("The Lone Ranger"), "Brick Bradford", "Geheim Agent X9" ("Secret Agent X-9"), Dokter Kildare" (Doctor Kildare), "Flippie Flink" ("Beetle Bailey"), "Roodvoet" ("Redeye"), "Popeye", "Felix de Kat" ("Felix the Cat") and on.

The newspaper was issued every 14 days until issue # 60 (May 1, 1969). The newspaper then was renamed to Heintje Jeugdkrant (except issue # 1 - May 15,1969 - renamed Heintje Stripkrant) with a weekly run of 32 issues (no Mandrake stories in this second part). The numbering order restart each year with an issue number 1 (examples: 1/1967, 1/1968, 1/1969).
