Comic House is a professional organization of comic artists cartoonists and  animators, founded in 1984 in Amsterdam. The collective consists of 75 independent artists who decided to join forces and talents. From the central office in Oosterbeek, Comic House represents the creative and business interests of this group.

History
The collective includes artists like Peter de Wit, Hanco Kolk, Pascal Campion, Wilbert Plijnaar, Glen Baxter, Lectrr, Henk Kuijpers, Mark Retera, Daan Jippes and Luc Cromheecke. The idea for Comic House originated in 1984 when comic artists and school buddies Marcel Bosma and Hans Buying fulfilled their long-cherished plan: a studio in Amsterdam. More than 20 colleagues from the vicinity of the two artists immediately embraced the idea to work together under the Comic House umbrella.

With the advent of an Amiga computer in 1987, animation began to play a greater role in the Comic House studio. In 1988, Hans Buying animated a leader for the VPRO kids show De Brillekoker. This experiment attracted the attention of Hanco Kolk and Peter de Wit, who walked around with animation plans for their popular comic strip Jones & Jones (Mannetje en Mannetje). Hans Buying devised a simple but effective way to produce the series with limited resources and get it on television. The VPRO aired three seasons of the series. In trainings, workshops and lectures Jones & Jones is still recognized as an early example of computer animation and the development of a new visual language.

After Wilbert Plijnaar and Piet Kroon joined Comic House during the '90s, the studio grew into a major producer in the field of 2D and 3D animation. In 1994 Comic House co-founded the Society of Artists Agents Holland (SAAH) on. This resulted in broad-based terms for delivery and payment and made solid agreements on use of illustration and animation.
