Sarge Snorkel

Few characters in Dutch comics have shown the staying power of Sarge Snorkel, who first marched onto the page in 1973 — a Bronze Age arrival courtesy of creator Peter de Smet — and kept going strong for an impressive 45 years. With 68 catalogued appearances spread across Eppo Stripblad, Eppo, and Eppo Wordt Vervolgd, this is a figure deeply woven into the fabric of Dutch comics publishing. Sarge Snorkel shares the page with a lively cast including Eppo, Esther Verkast, and Generaal Moters, making for colorful, character-rich company throughout the run. With a collector-significant key issue to their name and nearly half a century of publication history, Sarge Snorkel is essential reading for anyone serious about exploring the rich tradition of European comics.
