Bill

Debuting in the pages of the legendary Belgian weekly Spirou in 1962, Bill is a Silver Age creation of the celebrated duo Franquin and Jidéhem, born under the Dupuis banner where European comics royalty was made. Over more than six decades of publication, this character has kept remarkable company — sharing pages with beloved figures like Gaston Lagaffe, Boule, and the iconic cast of Spirou et Fantasio — a testament to just how deeply woven into the Franco-Belgian comics tradition Bill truly is. Whether encountered in Spirou, Boule & Bill, or Spirou et Fantasio par Fournier, Bill represents a charming slice of a golden era in European bande dessinée that any serious collector will want to explore.
