Sonia

Sonia is a supporting character from the classic Gaston Lagaffe strips published in the Belgian weekly Spirou, appearing alongside the lovable office slacker Gaston and his colleagues at the Dupuis publishing house.

Debuting in the pages of the legendary Belgian weekly Spirou in 1957, Sonia is a Silver Age creation of the incomparable André Franquin, one of the great architects of Franco-Belgian comics. Over a remarkable span stretching across six decades, she has kept some of the most beloved company in all of European comics — sharing pages with Spirou, Fantasio, Gaston, and the long-suffering Monsieur De Mesmaeker under the storied Dupuis banner. Her strongest presence is woven through the classic Gaston series, placing her at the heart of one of the most celebrated and enduringly funny corners of the Dupuis universe. For collectors and fans of the golden era of European bandes dessinées, Sonia is a quietly fascinating thread connecting some of the finest work the medium has ever produced.
