Jultomten

Jultomten is a Santa Claus figure appearing in the anarchic, adult-humor world of Egmont's Herman Hedning comic universe, where Scandinavian holiday tradition gets filtered through irreverent, chaotic comedy alongside recurring characters like Herman and Gammelman.

A fixture of the festive season in Scandinavian comics, Jultomten made their debut in 1996 within the irreverent, anarchic world of Egmont's Herman Hedning universe — a corner of Modern Age comics that has cultivated a devoted cult following. Over nearly two decades, this character carved out a recurring presence across the Herman Hedning & Co Christmas albums and the main series, sharing chaotic pages with the likes of Herman, Gammelman, Lilleman, Skaparen, and Bacon. With 18 catalog appearances spread across a 19-year run, Jultomten is a reliably returning seasonal presence — the kind of character that fans of this wonderfully odd Swedish comics world look forward to rediscovering each holiday.
