överste Gyllenskalp

Överste Gyllenskalp is a colonel character in the classic Swedish comic strip 91:an, serving as part of the military hierarchy surrounding the bumbling soldier 91:an Karlsson alongside other recurring figures like furir Revär and kapten Berån.

Stepping onto the page in 1960, överste Gyllenskalp is a Silver Age creation of Rudolf Petersson, born into the beloved Swedish comics tradition that made 91:an a household name. Appearing alongside enduring characters like 91:an Karlsson, furir Revär, and kapten Berån, this colonel has been part of a richly drawn comic world that kept readers entertained across an impressive nearly six decades of publication. Semic's long stewardship of the 91:an universe — from regular issues to cherished holiday albums — gave Gyllenskalp a cozy, recurring home in Scandinavian comics culture. A character rooted in that classic military-comedy milieu, överste Gyllenskalp is a rewarding discovery for collectors with a taste for the warmly humorous Nordic comics tradition.
