The Champions

The Champions, published by De Boemerang, is a Dutch-language superhero series that launched in 1998 and has run for 31 issues. The title is most consistently associated with artist Gürcan Gürsel, whose work defines the visual identity of this long-running team. This series matters as a distinctive European take on the superhero team concept, offering a sustained, creator-driven run that stands apart from the often-rebooted American tradition.
