Roel Dijkstra

Roel Dijkstra is a Dutch comics character who made their debut in the pages of Eppo in 1976, conjured into being by creator Henk Kuijpers during the Bronze Age of comics. With 123 catalogued appearances spread across nearly five decades — through Eppo, Eppo Wordt Vervolgd, and Eppo Stripblad — this is a figure with remarkable staying power in the Dutch comics tradition, sharing those pages with beloved characters like Sjors, Sjimmie, Franka, and others who made Eppo a cornerstone of European sequential art. Two key-issue appearances signal that collectors have taken notice, making Roel Dijkstra not just a fixture of Dutch comics history but a character genuinely worth tracking down for anyone eager to explore the rich, often underappreciated world of Oberon-era European comics.
