Bill Gates

A minor supporting character in Jonas Darnell's Scandinavian comic strip Herman Hedning, this Bill Gates shares his name with the real-world tech mogul but exists as a recurring figure within that series' comedic cast alongside Herman, Valle, and Bacon.

A namesake curiosity tucked inside the pages of Egmont's Herman Hedning, this Bill Gates made his entrance in 2009 courtesy of creator Jonas Darnell, joining a cast that includes the likes of Herman, Valle, and Bacon in that distinctly Scandinavian comic world. With just seven catalogued appearances spread across the early 2010s, he's a compact presence in the Modern Age — the kind of character who rewards the dedicated reader hunting through every corner of a beloved series. If Herman Hedning has a place on your shelf, keeping an eye out for this one is half the fun.
