Simon Gärdenfors

Arriving in the pages of MegaPyton in 1998, Simon Gärdenfors is a product of the late Copper/Modern Age Swedish comics scene, brought to life by creator Alf Woxnerud for Egmont. Over a run stretching into the early 2000s, Simon kept genuinely eclectic company — sharing pages with the likes of Mats Jonsson, Joe Matt, and Ivan Brunetti, a roster that hints at the alternative and autobiographical comics sensibility that defined MegaPyton's world. A niche figure with a devoted corner of Scandinavian comics history, Simon is the kind of character who rewards the curious collector willing to dig into the more offbeat edges of the era.
