Bea

Bea made her debut in the pages of Tina #6/1980, a Bronze Age arrival brought to life by creators Andries Brandt and the celebrated Purita Campos, and she proved to have real staying power — her story unfolding across an impressive 23 years of publication through 2003. With 84 catalogued appearances spread across Tina, Tina, and Tina Topstrip under the Oberon banner, she's a genuine fixture of Dutch girls' comics, sharing her world with characters like Tina Ruysdal, Bob Schouten, and the Visser family. Two of her appearances carry key-issue status for collectors, making Bea not just a beloved long-runner but a character with genuine significance on the shelf.
