Franka

Henk Kuijpers' long-running Dutch series Franka (1999–present, Franka) follows the globe-trotting adventures of its resourceful, independent heroine. Over 16 issues, Kuijpers writes and draws the series, crafting stylish, self-contained mysteries that blend European comic elegance with light, playful intrigue. A cornerstone of modern Dutch comics, Franka stands out for its consistent, creator-driven vision and its enduring appeal as a smart, visually sophisticated adventure strip.
