Claire

Born in 1996 from the creative trio of Jan van Die, Wilbert Plijnaar, and Robert van der Kroft, Claire made her debut in the pages of Claire 'klussen maar' and has quietly carved out a lasting niche in Dutch comics under the banner of Het Stripschap. Over a remarkable thirty-year run stretching into 2026, she's kept lively company with the likes of Brix, Ricky, Jup, Sjimmie, and Sjors, popping up across titles like StripNieuws and the celebratory Guust 60 jaar Gefeliciflaterd! — a sign of a character woven into the fabric of the Dutch comics community. For collectors and fans of Benelux strip culture, Claire is a warm, enduring presence worth seeking out.
