Carl Bildt

A satirical fixture of Swedish comics culture, Carl Bildt made his print debut in Svenska Mad #1 in 1988, arriving with the irreverent energy that Egmont's Copper Age humor titles did so well. Turning up across Svenska Mad, Herman Hedning, and Bacon & Ägg over nearly two decades, this character shares pages with the likes of Bacon and Kommissarie Barskebäck — colorful company that speaks to the sharp, comedic world he inhabits. With only three catalogued appearances, he's a rare find for the dedicated Scandinavian comics hunter, a small but telling piece of the rich tradition of political and cultural satire that flourished in Nordic humor publishing.
