Roel Dijkstra

Roel Dijkstra is a Dutch comic book series about a fictional football player. The series was created in 1975 by Jan Steeman (1933-2018; winner of the 2005 Dutch Stripschapprijs) and Andries Brandt. The first 21 volumes, drawn by Steeman and his successors, were published between 1977 and 1995 by Dutch publisher Oberon. Steeman and Brandt produced the first ten.

The eponymous Roel Dijkstra is a Dutch football player inspired by Johan Cruijff. He started out as a player with the local football club "FC Leidrecht", then moved on to "FC Hadfort" in the United Kingdom, "FC Union" in Corsica, and then "FC Rapiditas" in Spain before returning to "FC LeIdrecht". The story revolves around Dijkstra and his difficulties adjusting to life in a foreign country, shifty club bosses, friendship with fellow players, and football championships.

In 2017 and 2018 two more volumes were released, Thuisfront (Homefront) and Pamplona,. Both were serialised in the revived Eppo-magazine.
