Arad

Born in the pages of Sjors in 1970, Arad is a Silver Age creation from the celebrated team of Mike Butterworth and Don Lawrence — names that carry real weight among European comics devotees. Published by Oberon and keeping company with the likes of Sjors, Sjimmie, and Archie de man van staal, this character found a home in a rich tradition of Dutch comics storytelling. With 81 catalogued appearances stretching across more than five decades and at least one collector-recognized key issue to their name, Arad is a rewarding discovery for anyone looking beyond the Anglo-American mainstream into the vibrant world of European sequential art.
