Ulf Granberg

Ulf Granberg is a real-life comics creator who appears as a fictionalized version of himself within Herman Hedning, the Egmont cult series he co-created. He shares panels with the strip's recurring characters in a meta twist blending author and cast.

A creator stepping into their own pages, Ulf Granberg made his comics debut in 1998 as a character within the very series he co-created alongside Patrik Norrman and Jonas Darnell — the Egmont cult favorite Herman Hedning. Sharing panels with the likes of Herman, Lilleman, Gammelman, and even fellow creator Jonas Darnell, Granberg occupies a wonderfully meta corner of Modern Age Scandinavian comics. Over 14 years and across the main series, holiday specials, and summer editions, his presence weaves through the Herman Hedning universe with a knowing, insider charm that rewards devoted fans. With 21 catalog appearances and at least one key collector issue to his name, he's a delightful piece of comics history for anyone who loves the playful, self-aware side of the art form.
