Flippie Flink

Flippie Flink burst onto the Dutch comics scene in 1971, a Bronze Age creation from the talented duo of Dick Matena and Dino Attanasio, and has proven to be a remarkably enduring figure — still gracing pages more than five decades later. With 80 catalog appearances spread across beloved Dutch publications like Eppo Stripblad, Eppo, and Eppo Wordt Vervolgd, this character has become a genuine fixture of European comics culture, sharing adventures alongside a colorful cast that includes Eppo, Elsje, and Esther Verkest. Two of those appearances carry key-issue status, making Flippie Flink a name that serious collectors of Dutch-language comics have good reason to seek out. For anyone exploring the rich tradition of European strip publishing beyond the Anglo-American mainstream, this long-running character is a wonderfully rewarding discovery.
