Annelies Mees

Emerging from the Dutch Bronze Age comics scene in 1973, Annelies Mees made her debut in the pages of Tina — the beloved Oberon anthology that gave generations of young readers their favorite stories — and went on to carve out a presence spanning a remarkable fourteen years. With 26 catalogued appearances spread across Tina, Groot Tina Boek, and Groot Tina Herfstboek, she's a recurring face in a rich world shared with characters like Peggy Lucas, Tina Ruysdal, Noortje Visser, and Jeroen Rekers. Two of her appearances carry key-issue recognition, making her a rewarding find for collectors who dig into the warm, character-driven tradition of Dutch girls' comics — a corner of the medium that deserves far more attention than it typically gets.
