Tigern

Tigern is a tiger character from Norwegian comics, appearing alongside a boy named Tommy in the humor series Tommy & Tigern — a Scandinavian counterpart to the classic kid-and-big-cat friendship dynamic popularized by strips like Calvin and Hobbes.

Bursting onto Norwegian comics pages in 1987 through Humor og kanari, Tigern is a Copper Age character published by Hjemmet / Egmont whose adventures stretched across roughly fourteen years and found their fullest home in the beloved Tommy & Tigern album series. Sharing the page with Tommy, Spiff, and Supertommy, this character is part of a warm, playful corner of Scandinavian comics that deserves a spot on any collector's radar. With eight catalogued appearances, Tigern may be a compact presence, but that only makes each issue a satisfying find for fans of Nordic comics history.
