Sas ten Velde

Debuting in the pages of Tina Jubileumboek in 2002, Sas ten Velde is a Modern Age creation brought to life by the creative pairing of Andries Brandt and the celebrated Purita Campos, and she's been a fixture of Dutch girls' comics ever since. With 87 catalogued appearances across more than two decades — most prominently in Tina and Tina, Suus & Sas — she's proven herself one of the more enduring figures in DPG Media Magazines' lineup, the kind of character who clearly resonates with readers year after year. She keeps lively company in her stories, sharing pages with the likes of Spike, Roos Vink, Alana, and her fellow ten Veldes, Henk and Max, giving her world a warm, character-rich texture. With a key issue already to her name and a run stretching well into the 2020s, Sas ten Velde is well worth seeking out for any collector with an eye for enduring European comics storytelling.
