Swedish comics history

THIS BOOK CONTAINS a short history of comics in Sweden, with focus on the visual parts: the images. Swedish comics are just now about to make it abriad, but they have a long and intricate history - going back to (at least) the end of the 18th century. Perhaps even more interesting is the fact that today, comics artists of Sweden display a variety of expressions and breadth of subject matter unequalled in the history of this country. Welcome to a journey into an unknown territory. This is a new, revised and expanded version of the book Swedish Comics History from 2003 by the same author. "You could find no better guide to the fascinating heritage and contemporary dynamism of strips, comics, graphic novels and even manga from Sweden than Fredrik Strömberg. His passionate curiosity and in-depth research make this a hugely enjoyable voyage of discovery." /Paul Gravett, author of Manga - Sixty Years of Japanese Comics and Great British Comics - A Century of Ripping Yarns and Wizard WheezesAbout the author: Fredrik Strömberg is a journalist, author and historian who has studied comics since the early 1990s.
