Other Media
The strip has made it onto TV, cinema and stage:
- In 1975, BRT produced a TV series consisting of six stories taking the form of a puppet show narrated by Ambrose. These stories were later converted into comics. Dutch broadcaster TROS was the first to air the series with BRT following suit in 1976. Re-runs came in 1985 and 1990.
- In the early 1990s a cartoon-series was made; the episodes were edited versions of already-existing stories with voice-overs from Han Peekel, who hosted comic strip-themed programme Wordt Vervolgd at the time.
- In 1994, a musical was started by the Royal Youth Theatre of Antwerp. It ran for several years, touring the country.
- In 2004, Suske en Wiske: De duistere diamant, a Spike and Suzy live action film was released in French and Dutch called The Dark Diamond.
- A CGI animated film called Luke and Lucy: The Texas Rangers was released in July 2009. Produced by Skyline Entertainment, it is planned to be the first of a series of 13 films.
- The musical Circus Baron breaks a tradition of male actors being cast for the role of Aunt Sidonia.
