Stef Ardoba

Stef Ardoba made their debut in the pages of Eppo in 1976, brought to life by creators Adrie van Middelkoop and Henk 't Jong during the Bronze Age of comics — a vibrant era that gave Dutch genre storytelling some of its most enduring characters. Published steadily across an impressive 34-year span through Oberon's beloved lineup of Dutch comics magazines, Stef proved to have real staying power, sharing pages with familiar faces like Sjors, Sjimmie, and Roel Dijkstra across titles including Eppo, Sjors, and Eppo Stripblad. With a key collector issue to their name, Stef Ardoba is a rewarding discovery for anyone with a soft spot for the rich tradition of Dutch comics and the classic magazine era that nurtured it.
