Markies de Canteclaer van Barneveldt

Few characters carry their title with quite as much flair as Markies de Canteclaer van Barneveldt, a Bronze Age creation who stepped onto the page in 1974's Tom Poes #5, brought to life by the celebrated Marten Toonder studio. Published through Oberon across the late seventies and into the early eighties, this marquis moves in distinguished company — sharing adventures with beloved Dutch comics icons like Olivier B. Bommel, Tom Poes, and the colorful cast of characters that made the Tom Poes series a cornerstone of European comics. A figure of evident aristocratic bearing, Markies de Canteclaer van Barneveldt is a rewarding find for collectors who love the rich, witty world Toonder built — a world where even a supporting player arrives with a name grand enough to fill a coat of arms.
