Biskopen

Biskopen is a Modern Age creation who stepped onto the page in 1999 courtesy of writer-artist Jonas Darnell, debuting in the Swedish Egmont series Herman Hedning — one of Scandinavia's most irreverent and beloved comic universes. Over a run stretching into the mid-2000s, Biskopen carved out a modest but memorable niche across 14 catalogued appearances, including one collector-significant key issue that any serious Herman Hedning devotee will want to track down. The company is gloriously chaotic: sharing pages with Herman himself alongside the likes of Derek, Sharon, Damien, and Mavis Jävelberg, Biskopen inhabits a world where no one is safe from Darnell's sharp, anarchic wit. If you're diving into the wild, wonderfully weird corner of European comics that Herman Hedning represents, Biskopen is one of those supporting players who makes the universe feel genuinely lived-in and worth exploring.
