Basiel

Basiel made their comics debut in the pages of Eppo back in 1978, a Bronze Age creation of Bert Bus that went on to enjoy a remarkable four-decade presence across Eppo Stripblad, Eppo, and Eppo Wordt Vervolgd. With 83 catalogued appearances and at least one collector-recognized key issue to their name, this is a character with genuine staying power in the Dutch comics landscape. Along the way, Basiel shares adventures with a colorful cast including Eppo, Bert, Ouwe, Esther Verkest, and Elsje — lively company that speaks to the rich, community-driven world these stories inhabit. For fans of European comics with real longevity and charm, Basiel is well worth seeking out.
