Gijsje Bartels

Fresh from the pages of MAX Magazine, Gijsje Bartels is a Modern Age creation who made her debut in 2022 under the hands of creators Jan Dirk Barreveld and Robby van der Meulen — a Dutch comics voice bringing something distinctly their own to the contemporary scene. With 26 catalog appearances and a run stretching into 2026, she's clearly found a devoted readership within MAX Mediaproducties' pages. What makes her world feel particularly rich is the ensemble around her — Trijntje, Herman, Eddie, Geke, and Anja Bartels all share her stories, suggesting a character deeply embedded in a web of relationships that gives MAX Magazine its warm, character-driven charm.
