Saffiertje Stagg

Saffiertje Stagg is the Dutch-language name for Sapphire Stagg, daughter of the wealthy and scheming Simon Stagg and the devoted love interest of Rex Mason, the elemental hero Metamorpho. Her loyalty to Rex drives much of the tension in their adventures together.

A Silver Age gem from the Dutch-language Super Comics, Saffiertje Stagg made her debut in 1968 courtesy of the celebrated creative team of Bob Haney and Ramona Fradon. With only a compact but intriguing footprint of appearances across 1968–1969, she inhabits a world alongside the likes of Metamorfo, Simon Stagg, Rex Mason, and the enigmatic Stofwisselmeisje — vivid company that speaks to the rich, imaginative storytelling of the era. Published by Classics/Williams, her existence is a fascinating window into how Silver Age comics traveled across borders and found new life in European editions, making her a genuinely rewarding discovery for collectors with a taste for the international reach of the form.
