Grote Pyr

A Dutch Bronze Age creation from the pages of Pep, Grote Pyr arrived in 1971 under the pen of Dick Matena, one of the Netherlands' most celebrated comics artists. Published by Geïllustreerde Pers, this character belongs to a vibrant era of European comics storytelling that ran through the early seventies. With only a handful of catalog appearances, Grote Pyr is a rare and intriguing figure — the kind of discovery that reminds collectors just how wide and wonderful the world of comics truly is beyond the Anglo-American mainstream.
