Moppe

Debuting in the very first issue of Svenska serier back in 1987, Moppe is a creation of Magnus Knutsson and Ulf Jansson — a character born at the dawn of the Copper Age who found a long home in the Egmont stable of Scandinavian comics. Over a span of roughly 24 years, Moppe kept lively company alongside the likes of Lilleman, Bacon, Herman, James Hund, and Gammelman, most frequently turning up in the pages of Herman Hedning and its summer specials. With a key-issue appearance to their name and a run stretching well into the Modern Age, Moppe is a charming piece of Nordic comics history well worth seeking out for any collector with an eye for the broader, wonderfully varied world beyond the American mainstream.
