De Politie

In the mid-1980s, the Dutch publisher De Schorpioen launched De Politie, a gritty police procedural comic series that ran for 24 issues. Known for its realistic, down-to-earth storytelling, the series focused on the daily work of law enforcement, eschewing flashy superheroics for grounded crime drama. It stands as a notable example of European genre comics from the era, offering a mature, slice-of-life take on police work that was uncommon in the medium at the time.
