Marlies

Marlies made her debut in the pages of Tina back in 1975, stepping onto the Bronze Age stage courtesy of Dutch publisher Geïllustreerde Pers — and she never really left. With 237 catalogued appearances spanning nearly five decades all the way to 2023, she's one of the most enduring figures in the long-running Tina series, sharing those pages with a memorable cast that includes Tina Ruysdal, Debbie, Dolly, and the Visser family. Two of her appearances carry key-issue status for collectors, a testament to her significance within this beloved corner of European comics history — and more than enough reason to start hunting down her runs.
