Medicijnman

Medicijnman (Dutch for "Medicine Man") is a supporting character appearing in Dutch Donald Duck comics, associated with characters like Hiawatha, Kwik, and Kwek in adventure-tinged stories. Likely a Native American medicine man figure in that playful ensemble setting.

A Silver Age creation from the Dutch publisher Geïllustreerde Pers, Medicijnman made their debut in Donald Duck #43 in 1965, brought to life by creator Bob Gregory. Active across a compact but spirited run through 1967, this character shares their pages with the likes of Donald Duck, Hiawatha, Kwik, and Kwek — a lively ensemble that speaks to the playful, adventure-tinged spirit of the era. With ten catalog appearances concentrated in the Donald Duck universe, Medicijnman is a charming piece of Silver Age Dutch comics history, the kind of supporting figure that rewards the dedicated collector digging into the rich, often-overlooked world of European Disney publishing.
