Dikkie

Born in the pages of Eppo in 1976, Dikkie is a Bronze Age creation from the Dutch comics tradition, brought to life by the team of Adrie van Middelkoop and Henk 't Jong. Over an remarkable four-decade run spanning all the way to 2019, this character became a fixture of beloved Dutch anthology titles like Eppo, Eppo Wordt Vervolgd, and Sjors en Sjimmie Stripblad, sharing those pages with familiar Dutch comics faces such as Sjimmie, Sjors, and Roel Dijkstra. Published by Oberon, a cornerstone of Dutch comics publishing, Dikkie represents the kind of enduring, homegrown character that kept generations of readers coming back to their favorite weeklies. For collectors and fans of European comics history, a 43-year presence on the newsstand is a legacy well worth exploring.
