The information on the series is rather sparse. The series started out under the name
Esmeralda in the Danish newspaper
Berlingske Tidende in 1955. At the time the series was social satire, and possibly not a comic. The data on this is unclear. In 1959, the series became
Lullubelle, though in
Berlingske Tidende it continued under the name
Esmeralda. The series lasted until the late 1980s.
