Hanna made her debut in the pages of Libelle in 1980, a creation of the beloved Dutch cartoonist Jan Kruis, stepping into the warm, domestic world of Jan, Jans en de kinderen — one of the Netherlands' most cherished comic strips. A Bronze Age arrival with remarkable staying power, she has graced the page for over four decades alongside a lively cast including Jans Tromp, Catootje Tromp, Karlijn Tromp, and the irrepressible De rode kater. With 96 catalogued appearances, two of them recognized as collector-significant key issues, and a publishing run stretching all the way to 2026, Hanna is a testament to the enduring affection Dutch readers have for this cozy corner of comics — well worth seeking out for anyone who loves the gentler, funnier side of the medium.
