Jolly Jumper
Few characters can claim a Silver Age debut crafted by the legendary duo behind Asterix — yet here is Jolly Jumper, introduced in 1967 by René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo, bringing their unmistakable creative spark to the pages of Pep under Geïllustreerde Pers. This enduring figure has kept remarkable company over the decades, sharing pages with the likes of Lucky Luke, Batman, Bruce Wayne, and Robin across a publishing journey that stretches impressively from 1967 all the way to 2026. Most at home in Dutch anthology staples like Pep, Eppo Wordt Vervolgd, and Eppo Stripblad, Jolly Jumper is a testament to the rich, often-overlooked world of European comics publishing — a character worth seeking out for any collector who appreciates the craft of two genuine masters of the form.
