Jup

Jup made their comics debut in 1996 within the pages of Claire 'klussen maar', brought to life by the creative trio of Jan van Die, Wilbert Plijnaar, and Robert van der Kroft under the Dutch publisher Het Stripschap. A product of the Copper/Modern Age, this character has quietly persisted across an impressive thirty-year span, turning up in publications like StripNieuws and StripGlossy alongside a colorful cast that includes Claire, Brix, Ricky, De rode kater, and even the legendary Obelix. With a modest but enduring footprint in Dutch comics culture, Jup is a rewarding discovery for collectors with a taste for the rich, often-overlooked world of Benelux strip publishing.
