Hiep Hieper

Stepping out of the beloved Dutch comics world of Marten Toonder's studio, Hiep Hieper made their debut in Tom Poes #10 in 1978, joining one of the Netherlands' most cherished comic universes during the Bronze Age. Published by Oberon, this character shares the page with icons of the Toonder canon — including the gentlemanly Olivier B. Bommel and the clever Tom Poes himself — which speaks to the rich, whimsical world they inhabit. With only a handful of catalog appearances, Hiep Hieper is a rare find for devoted collectors of Dutch comics history, a small but genuine piece of a studio whose storytelling legacy looms very large indeed.
