Mik van Galen

Mik van Galen is a character in Gerrit de Jager's Dutch magazine comic strip, appearing in Margriet as part of the Van Galen family alongside siblings Zusje and Huib in an intimate, slice-of-life family drama.

A Modern Age creation from the pages of Margriet, Mik van Galen debuted in 2015 under the pen of Gerrit de Jager and has built a quietly impressive presence across 38 catalog appearances over the past decade. Sharing the page with Zusje van Galen and Huib van Galen, Mik clearly belongs to a richly drawn family world — the kind of intimate, character-driven storytelling that Dutch magazine comics do so well. Published by DPG Media Magazines, this is a character for readers who appreciate comics rooted in recognizable, everyday life rather than capes and cosmos.
