Dr. Harlem Lester

A creature of the Copper/Modern Age, Dr. Harlem Lester made their debut in the very first issue of Herman Hedning in 1998 — a collector-notable launch from Egmont brought to life by the creative trio of Ulf Granberg, Patrik Norrman, and Jonas Darnell. Throughout the series' run around the turn of the millennium, Lester shares the page with a wonderfully eclectic cast including Lilleman, Sharon Jävelberg, Satan, Fingal, and Derek Jävelberg, hinting at a comic world with real personality and range. With two key-issue appearances among their nine catalog entries, Dr. Harlem Lester may be a compact presence in comics history, but they're a genuine piece of Scandinavian comics culture well worth tracking down for the adventurous collector.
