Nell

Nell is a character from the Dutch daily free newspaper Metro, created by René Leisink for Metro Holland's homegrown comic strip. She appears as part of a contemporary ensemble cast alongside characters including Robin, Yvon, Jasper, Jeff, and Claire.

A fresh face from the Dutch comics scene, Nell made her entrance in the pages of Metro in 2017, brought to life by creator René Leisink for Metro Holland's homegrown cast of characters. Over her run through 2017–2018, she carved out a presence across 40 appearances alongside a lively ensemble — Robin, Yvon, Jasper, Jeff, and Claire among them — making her a recognizable part of that world. Modern Age through and through, she's a charming example of the kind of character that thrives in the everyday, accessible storytelling that newspaper-style comics do so well, and a lovely find for collectors with an eye for European strip comics beyond the usual suspects.
