Professor Julius Palmboom

A fixture of the Dutch comics scene, Professor Julius Palmboom made his debut in the pages of Eppo back in 1979 — a Bronze Age creation brought to life by George Gately and published by Oberon. Over a span stretching more than three decades, this professor has kept remarkably lively company, sharing adventures in Eppo, Por Dios, and Stripjaarboek alongside characters like Storm, Sjors, and Sjimmie. A modestly catalogued but enduring presence in the Dutch comics tradition, Professor Julius Palmboom is a rewarding discovery for collectors with a taste for the rich world of European strip publishing.
