Photo Story Magazines - Ruiter in Swart

Many Thanks to Sven Barsby for this article on the Ruiter in Swart Series and the NEW LIVE-ACTION DVD - which is sure to be popular amongst fans of this classic series:
Ruiter in Swart was one of the first Photo Story Magazines published by Republican Press, first appearing in 1966, just after Kyk/See, Mark Condor and Dr Conrad Brand. Arguably the most popular "cowboy" photo story ever published, the story features the character Ben in the Lowveld of the 1880s. After hisson is kidnapped, he makes it his life's ambition to root out all evil and findhis son. When the series ended with issue no 491 (after a run of 17 years),all Ben's attempts to find his son had been unsuccessful. The role of Ben,Ruiter in Swart, was played by Vonk de Ridder, an established actor atthe time with films such as "Voor Sononder" and "Kimberley Jim" with JimReeves, to his credit.
