Calypso

Calypso is a supporting character in Jonas Darnell's irreverent Swedish comic Herman Hedning, inhabiting the same offbeat universe as Herman, Lilleman, and other eccentric figures in one of Scandinavia's most distinctive adult comedy comics.

Emerging from the pages of Egmont's Herman Hedning in 2009, Calypso is a Modern Age creation from writer-artist Jonas Darnell, joining a cast of distinctive characters — Lilleman, Herman, Gammelman, Valle, and Bengt — in one of Scandinavia's most irreverent comic universes. With 19 catalogued appearances across a run stretching into the early 2010s, this is a character who found a real home in Herman Hedning's wonderfully offbeat world. If you're exploring the wilder corners of European comics beyond the usual suspects, Darnell's work is absolutely worth your time — and Calypso is a fine reason to dive in.
