Who is Bacon?

Bacon is one half of the comedic duo at the center of the Swedish comic strip Bacon & Ägg, paired alongside the character Egg. Created by Patrik Norrman, Bacon navigates absurd situations with a cast including Skaparen and the Jävelberg family.

Born from Patrik Norrman's imagination in 1995, Bacon made their debut in Bacon & Ägg #1 and went on to become one of Egmont's most enduring Modern Age creations, racking up 115 catalog appearances across a remarkable twenty-year run. Four of those appearances carry key-issue status — a sure sign that collectors have taken notice. Bacon shares the page with a wonderfully distinct cast including Egg, Skaparen, and the Jävelberg family, and turns up frequently in the pages of Herman Hedning alongside their home series, suggesting a character woven deeply into the fabric of Scandinavian comics culture. If you're looking for a long-running gem from the mid-nineties that has quietly built a devoted following, Bacon is absolutely worth your time.
