Jan van der Voo created his first comic, called 'De Metroriet', in the Dutch regional newspaper De Havenloods. This strip was soon followed by 'Baldino' and 'De Kleine Hartog', which both appeared in Olidin. In the 1960s, he drew a great many advertising strips, which were published in Donald Duck and other juvenile magazines. He cooperated with Wim Meuldijk on comics with 'Pipo de Clown' and 'Ketelbinkie' for the Donald Duck weekly in the 1970s. Together with scripwriter Patty Klein, he made the strip 'Pots' for Okki.

He was a productive artist for the magazine Sjors during the late 1960s and early 1970s, drawing many covers, puzzles, posters and illustrations. He cooperated on the shortlived Jan Kruis production 'Moeps Pepernoot' in the early issues of the society magazine Story.

Jan van der Voo eventually cancelled his comics activities and went to live abroad. After a long period of living outside The Netherlands, he returned to his home country. More recently, he returned to the comics scene with the gag series 'Piraatje' in Myx magazine.
