Franka

Franka is a Dutch comic series by Henk Kuijpers, published by Semic from 1982 to 1984, though it comprises just a single issue. The series follows the adventures of its resourceful, red-haired title character, a young woman whose detective work and globe-trotting escapades blend mystery, humor, and stylish European comic art. Kuijpers, both writer and artist, crafted Franka as a standout in the European tradition, known for its crisp linework and engaging storytelling. While brief in its initial run, this series introduced a character who would go on to become a beloved figure in Dutch comics.
