Kronblom

Kronblom is a classic Swedish comic strip character created by cartoonist Elov Persson, debuting in 1930 in the children's Christmas annual Barnens stora julkalender. A beloved figure in Scandinavian comic culture, he is best known through the long-running Kronblom julalbum Christmas annuals.

Few characters can claim roots stretching all the way back to 1930, but Kronblom is one of them — a Platinum Age creation by Swedish cartoonist Elov Persson whose enduring charm has kept him in print across an astonishing 95 years. Born in the pages of Barnens stora julkalender, this beloved figure has become a fixture of Scandinavian comic culture, appearing most prominently in the cherished Kronblom julalbum (Christmas annuals) as well as the pages of Allers, sharing those cozy panels with a cast of recurring companions including Malin, Svärmor, Grosshandlarn, and handlare Nilsson. Published through Bokförlaget Semic and Egmont, with a collector-significant key issue to his name, Kronblom is a rare treasure — a character whose longevity speaks for itself, and whose warm, distinctly Swedish personality has made him a perennial holiday staple worth discovering.
