Bodo

Few characters can claim a publishing life stretching across more than five decades, but Bodo — who first stepped onto the page in Lehning's Sigurd #1 back in 1953 — is one of them. A Golden Age creation of Hansrudi Wäscher and Gerhard Adler, this character has been a consistent presence in the long-running Sigurd series, sharing adventures alongside the title hero himself. Eleven catalog appearances across 55 years of publication tell the story of a character quietly woven into the fabric of one of Germany's most enduring comics traditions — and that kind of longevity is always worth a closer look.
