Joakim Lindengren

Joakim Lindengren, born March 28, 1962, is a Swedish cartoonist, illustrator, and artist best known for his work on the long-running comic series *Pyton* and the autobiographical series *Ett anstötligt liv*. He entered the comics scene in the mid-1980s, contributing to the anthology *Galago*, which became a key platform for his satirical and often provocative style. Lindengren’s signature approach blends sharp social commentary with a loose, expressive line, frequently inked and colored by his own hand. He collaborated closely with writers and artists in the Swedish alternative comics scene, notably on the series *Kalla korvar* and *Kapten Stofil*, as well as the political anthology *ETC Comics*. His work spans 22 issues from 1986 to 2018, with *Pyton* and *Ett anstötligt liv* among his most credited titles. Lindengren’s later career saw him continue as a versatile creator, handling writing, art, lettering, and coloring across multiple projects. While specific major awards are not documented in available sources, his influence on Swedish underground and alternative comics is widely recognized. He remains active in illustration and art, with a legacy rooted in pushing the boundaries of humor and autobiography in Nordic comics.
