Johnny Goodbye

Born in the Bronze Age pages of Pep in 1974, Johnny Goodbye is a creation of Patty Klein and Dino Attanasio that found a genuine home in the Dutch comics scene, appearing across Pep, Eppo, and Eppo Stripblad — a run stretching an impressive five decades into 2025. Published by Oberon, this character keeps lively company with beloved Dutch and European comics staples like Eppo, Sjors en Sjimmie, and the legendary Agent 327, which speaks to the caliber of the anthology stages Johnny Goodbye has graced. Thirty-one catalog appearances across fifty-plus years is a quiet kind of staying power, and for collectors with a passion for European comics history, Johnny Goodbye is exactly the sort of discovery that makes digging through the Dutch Bronze Age so rewarding.
