Dick Matena (24 April 1943 - 26 April 2026) was a Dutch comics writer and cartoonist who also published under the pseudonyms A. den Dooier, John Kelly and Dick Richards. He is remembered for his science fiction work and, above all, for comic-book adaptations of famous literary novels, a field in which he became a notable figure.
Born in The Hague, Matena started as a volunteer at the Toonder studios in 1960, at the age of seventeen, helping with the Tom Puss and Panda projects. He later worked as a freelancer, first mainly for Toonder and then for magazines such as Pep, where he drew De Argonautjes, and Eppo. In 1977 he changed his drawing style and created Virl, his first realistic comic. From 1982 to 1984 he lived in Spain and worked for the agency Selecciones Ilustradas. After moving to Belgium, he made comics about Edgar Allan Poe, Gauguin and Van Gogh.
His best-known series is Storm, for which he drew stories written by others, and which spawned the Kronieken van de Tussentijd spin-offs. He later adapted Dutch literary works such as Gerard Reve's De Avonden, which won him the Bronzen Adhemar in 2003, the first non-Flemish comics artist to receive the award. He also received the Stripschapsprijs in 1986 for his complete body of work.
