Gijs Gans

Gijs Gans is a Dutch-published comics character who first waddled onto the page in 1955, brought to life by Gil Turner in the pages of Donald Duck — and remarkably, that debut in the Golden Age proved to be just the beginning of a run stretching all the way to 2024, nearly seven decades of appearances. Published by Geïllustreerde Pers, this enduring figure has kept lively company with Donald Duck himself, Oma Duck, and the irrepressible trio of Kwik, Kwek, and Kwak across 89 catalog appearances, two of which carry genuine key-issue status for collectors. For fans of the rich European tradition of Duck comics, Gijs Gans is a testament to just how deep and rewarding that world becomes when you start digging beyond the familiar names.
