Billie Turf

Bill Mainwaring introduced Billie Turf to Dutch comics readers in 1962 — a Silver Age debut in the pages of Sjors that launched a remarkable 36-year run across beloved Dutch anthology titles like Eppo and an eponymous series of their own. Published by Oberon and sharing pages with the likes of Sjors, Sjimmie, and Meester Kwel, Billie Turf became a warmly familiar presence in the Dutch comics landscape, earning two collector-recognized key issues along the way. It's a testament to the character's enduring charm that Billie Turf kept readers coming back from the early Silver Age all the way through the 1990s — a genuine staple of Dutch comics heritage well worth seeking out.
