Madelfried

Emerging from the pages of Incognito in 1998, Madelfried is a creation of Jean-Marc van Tol that found a home across a handful of Dutch-language publications — StripGlossy, Incognito, and Metro — over a remarkable two-decade span stretching into 2019. Though the catalog footprint is modest at four appearances, the company this character keeps is anything but small, sharing pages with beloved Flemish and Dutch comics icons like Suske, Lambik, Jerom, Professor Barabas, and Wiske. For collectors with a taste for the rich European comics tradition and the Copper/Modern Age publishers that kept it thriving, Madelfried is a charming little discovery hiding in plain sight.
