Some sample images of Dutch comic strip Dick Bos, by Alfred Mazure (1914-1974). The comic ran from 1941 to 1968.
Young Paul Verhoeven (Robocop, Total Recall) was a fan: notice the similarities for example between these images and the car crash scene in his 1992 film, Basic Instinct:

Private eye Dick Bos, by Alfred Mazure, who later worked in the UK and created Romeo Brown in 1954 (which is more famous for being the first collaboration between Peter O'Donnell and Jim Holdaway, who worked on the strip from 1957 to 1963 and followed up with Modesty Blaise. Hey, Modesty is 50 !).
