Opperhoofd

Opperhoofd — Dutch for "Chief" — is a Native American chief character who appeared in Dutch Donald Duck comics published by Geïllustreerde Pers, sharing adventures with Donald Duck, Hiawatha, and others.

Opperhoofd made their comics debut in 1955 within the pages of Donald Duck — a Golden Age introduction from Dutch publisher Geïllustreerde Pers that launched a presence stretching all the way to 2016, a remarkable six-decade span for any character. Created by Lee Hooper, this figure has shared adventures with the likes of Donald Duck, Hiawatha, Kwik, Kwek, and Zilverslang across 44 catalogued appearances, with two of those issues recognized as collector-significant key appearances. It's the kind of enduring, quietly beloved corner of comics history that rewards the dedicated reader who looks beyond the obvious — a character rooted in the Golden Age yet resilient enough to remain relevant well into the modern era.
