De Generaal

Emerging from the pages of Pep in 1971, De Generaal is a Dutch Bronze Age creation by Peter de Smet who carved out a lasting niche in the rich tradition of Benelux comics publishing. Over nearly five decades, this character kept remarkable company — sharing pages with beloved Dutch strip icons like Sjors, Sjimmie, and Franka across the storied pages of Eppo and Pep, the heartbeat of Dutch comics culture for generations. With appearances stretching all the way to 2019 and a collector-significant key issue to their name, De Generaal is a testament to the enduring vitality of the Oberon publishing world — exactly the kind of deep-cut discovery that makes digging through Dutch comics history so rewarding.
