Suske en Wiske Weekblad was a Belgian comics magazine which debuted in September 15, 1993 and ran in weekly syndication until December 24, 2003. It was based on the popularity of Suske en Wiske and notable for being the last attempt in Flanders to release a new comic book magazine.

History
Every new issue was published on Wednesdays. The magazine mostly published prepublications of comics distributed by Standaard Uitgeverij, such as Suske en Wiske and other comics of Studio Vandersteen. But it also provided a place for Dutch comics and translations of British, American, Walloon and French comic strip series. Some comics were reprints of older series, such as Boule et Bill. Apart from comics the magazine also featured games, posters, interviews, articles, mini-comics and contests.
Thanks to the popularity of Suske en Wiske in Flanders and the Netherlands the magazine sold well. The first issue was a free gift with the 237th Suske en Wiske album De Snikkende Sirene (1993). Still, after a decade of publishing, the magazine was discontinued.
