Soeperman

Soeperman is a Dutch comic character whose very name parodies a famous superhero, reflecting the humorous, irreverent tone of the strip. Created by Martin Lodewijk and Don Lawrence, he debuted in the Dutch anthology Eppo Wordt Vervolgd in 1987.

Few characters capture the playful, irreverent spirit of Dutch comics quite like Soeperman, who splashed onto the page in 1987 within the beloved anthology Eppo Wordt Vervolgd, brought to life by the formidable creative pairing of Martin Lodewijk and Don Lawrence. A Copper Age original with a name that winks at the reader from the very first glance, Soeperman has proven surprisingly durable, popping up across titles like Eppo Stripblad and Por Dios and keeping lively company with characters such as Klark Klont, Elsje, and Flippie Flink over nearly four decades. Published under the Don Lawrence Collection banner, this is a character steeped in the warm, witty tradition of European strip comics — a niche gem well worth seeking out for any collector with a taste for the continental side of the medium.
