Ouwe

Ouwe made their debut in the pages of Pep in 1974, a Bronze Age creation brought to life by the talented duo of Dick Matena and Dino Attanasio — two names that carry real weight in European comics. Over the course of an remarkable 51-year publishing history, this character has become a fixture across beloved Dutch anthology titles like Eppo Stripblad, Eppo, and Pep, accumulating 146 catalog appearances and sharing those pages with a colorful cast including Flippie Flink, Elsje, and Esther Verkest. With two collector-recognized key issues to their name, Ouwe is exactly the kind of enduring European comics personality that rewards the curious fan willing to dig into the rich tradition of Dutch strip publishing.
