Douwe Dabbert

Thom Roep and Piet Wijn’s whimsical fantasy series Douwe Dabbert, originally a long-running Dutch newspaper strip, was collected and continued by Don Lawrence Collection from 2013 to 2017 over eight issues. The books follow the gentle, wandering adventures of a small, bearded man in a medieval-inspired world, blending lighthearted humor with folkloric charm. Wijn’s lush, detailed art and Roep’s clever, character-driven storytelling made this a beloved entry in European comics, offering a cozy yet imaginative escape.
