Andi Almqvist

Born into the pages of MegaPyton in 1996, Andi Almqvist is a creation of Anne Thorsell and Hansen, emerging from the Modern Age under the Swedish publisher Atlantic Förlags AB. Over a compact but characterful run through 1998, Andi shares the stage with a wonderfully eclectic cast — including Buddy Bradley, Leonard "Stinky" Brown, and the gloriously named Frifräsarn Franklin Freek — suggesting a world with real personality and wit. Six appearances may be a modest tally, but for collectors with a taste for Scandinavian comics history and the offbeat corners of the '90s, Andi Almqvist is exactly the kind of discovery that makes digging through back-issue boxes so rewarding.
