Eppo (comics)

Eppo is a Dutch comics magazine named after the protagonist of the back-page-gags.

The first thirteen issues of Eppo appeared in the last three months of 1975 and introduced comics such as Storm, Roel Dijkstra, Franka (originally a character from the Pep-featured Het Misdaadmuseum) and Sjors & Sjimmie.

In 1985, after more than 500 issues, Eppo merged with Wordt Vervolgd, a television program devoted to comics, cartoons, and related topics.

[1] The first years were still successful, but in 1994 the name was shortened to Sjosji in an attempt to reach a younger generation.

[1] In February 2009 the magazine was revived as Eppo[2] and taken back to heart by its original readers.
