Kokkie

Kokkie made their debut in the pages of Eppo back in 1984 — right in the heart of the Bronze Age — brought to life by the creative duo of Dick Matena and Carry Brugman, two names well worth knowing in Dutch comics history. Over a remarkable span stretching all the way to 2018, this character became a familiar presence in beloved Dutch anthology titles like Eppo Stripblad and Telekids Vakantieboek, sharing pages with a wonderfully eclectic cast that includes Flippie Flink, Esther Verkest, and even the iconic Sarge Snorkel. For collectors with a passion for the rich tradition of European strip magazines, Kokkie is a charming piece of that world — a character whose 34-year publishing life speaks to a quiet, enduring appeal that deserves a closer look.
