In 1974,
"De nabjar van Poenjab" (Eng.: "The Nabjar of
Punjab"), the 3the album in the Belgian comics series "Robert
en Bertrand" was published by the "Standaard Uitgeverij".
The series, set in the 19th century, in Belgium, The Netherlands and
France, was created by Willy Vandersteen in 1973. The characters are
based on a play written by Benjamin Antier and Fréderick Lemaitre
and the novel by Koen Ravestein (Raf Verhulst) from 1890. Robert and
Bertrand, are two tramps chased by a policeman/detective "Number
17" (his appearance was probably based on Marty Feldman). Other
characters are Moldavian Prince Joeki a protégé of Robert and
Bertrand, and Magistrate Mangin.

SynopsisKach-Mir,
the Indian Nabjar of Poenjap and his daughter Jasmina are visiting
the Earl and Countess de Whetik van
Veel.
An anarchist movement was already attempting to carry out an attack
to kill
the
Nabjar
and thus obscure relations between Belgium and India. The Nabjar and
his daughter are protected by Lieutenant Dramaix, but that does not
seem sufficient and Mangin
asks Robert and Bertrand, under the guise of Italian diplomats, to
protect the Nabjar...
