Dieter Lumpen

Born in the pages of a 1986 Casterman album, Dieter Lumpen is a European adventure comics creation with real pedigree — brought to life by the creative team of Jorge Zentner and Rubén Pellejero at the height of the Franco-Belgian tradition's Copper Age flourishing. His run may be compact, but the company he keeps speaks volumes: sharing pages with the legendary Corto Maltese places Dieter squarely in the grand lineage of roaming, world-weary adventurers that European comics does like no other. For collectors drawn to the sophisticated, travel-steeped storytelling of Casterman's stable, Dieter Lumpen is a beautifully crafted discovery well worth tracking down.
