Eppo

Few characters can claim a half-century of continuous presence in the pages of Dutch comics, but Eppo — debuting in Pep #20 in 1974, brought to life by the talented duo of Dick Matena and Dino Attanasio — has done exactly that. A true child of the Bronze Age, this character became so beloved that an entire magazine, Eppo, eventually bore the name, a testament to the kind of reader loyalty that publishers dream about. With 236 catalog appearances spanning all the way to 2025, and three collector-recognized key issues to the name, Eppo has shared countless adventures alongside characters like Ouwe, Pineut, Bert, Elsje, and Flippie Flink under the Oberon banner. If you're exploring the rich tradition of European comics storytelling, this enduring figure is an essential place to start.
