Rik

Rob van Bavel introduced Rik to readers of the Dutch anthology Eppo Stripblad in 2009, and this Modern Age creation has kept a steady presence in the catalog ever since — racking up appearances across seventeen years and popping up in Por Dios alongside a wonderfully eclectic cast that includes January Jones, Flippie Flink, and Esther Verkest. Published under the Don Lawrence Collection banner, Rik is very much a creature of the beloved Eppo world, that storied Dutch comics tradition where diverse characters and genres share the same pages. With twenty catalog appearances and a run stretching to 2026, Rik is a modest but enduring fixture worth a closer look for any fan curious about the rich landscape of European comics beyond the usual household names.
