Dick Matena (The Hague 1943) is a Dutch illustrator who, via the Toonder Studio (Tom Poes) and the Dutch comic books Pep and Eppo (The Argonauts, Knight Roodhart, Storm) became involved in an ambitious project: turning well-known novels from the history of literature into illustrated strip cartoons. Matena made strip cartoon versions of Dick Trom, Pietje Bell and Dickens’ Christmas Carol, but also of The Evenings by Gerard Reve and Short American by Jan Wolkers. In 2009, he made a strip cartoon of De Komiek [The Comedian], a one-man show by Freek de Jonge.
