Hiawatha

Meet Hiawatha, a Golden Age creation who first stepped onto the page in 1955, brought to life by Lee Hooper in the pages of Donald Duck #8/1955 from Geïllustreerde Pers. With 60 catalogued appearances stretching all the way to 2016, this is a character who clearly found a lasting home in the world of Dutch comics publishing — a remarkable six-decade run that speaks to genuine staying power. Hiawatha keeps lively company throughout those adventures, sharing pages with Donald Duck himself alongside Opperhoofd, Kwik, Kwek, and Kwak, making for a wonderfully animated corner of the comics universe. Two of those appearances carry key-issue status, giving collectors a pair of especially rewarding targets to hunt down.
