Smurfin

Debuting in the pages of Tina in 1988, Smurfin is a Copper Age character brought to life by creators Marjolein Winkel and Purita Campos under Dutch publisher Oberon. Appearing across publications like De Smurfen Paddenstoelenspecial and Eppo Stripblad, this character shares the page with the likes of Tina Ruysdal, Noortje Visser, and Bert — a cozy corner of Dutch comics storytelling that ran for an impressive nearly three decades. A charming piece of Benelux comics heritage, Smurfin is a rewarding discovery for collectors drawn to the rich world of European strips beyond the usual well-trodden titles.
