Joe Dalton

A Silver Age creation born in the pages of Robbedoes in 1962, Joe Dalton stepped onto the Dutch-language comics scene courtesy of the legendary Franquin and Jidéhem, rubbing shoulders with the likes of Lucky Luke and his fellow Daltons — William, Jack, and Averell. His appearances across Pep and Robbedoes place him squarely in the beloved European tradition of Franco-Belgian comics, a world apart from the superhero boom happening simultaneously across the Atlantic. With only a handful of catalog appearances, Joe is a genuine rarity — a compact footnote in a rich era worth seeking out by any serious collector of the form.
