Bacon & Ägg #1/1996
"Salt- och Pepparkarlen" kicks off in 1996 with a delightfully absurd premise: James Hund, stranded on a deserted island after the Rainbow Terrier is sunk by French forces near Morra Morra-atollen, stumbles upon La Projecte—a secret French military project using a quantum rift from old atomic tests to store decades of excess wine. The plan? Launch a massive champagne bottle into orbit to propel France’s new space station, but James’s clumsy interference sends it skyward early—carrying the French president and hurtling into deep space. Written by Jonas Darnell, Patrik Norrman, and Henrik Nilsson, with art and inks by Patrik Norrman, and a cover by Patrik Norrman, this surreal comic blends Cold War satire with fizzy farce in a 23.00 SEK/FIM package.
In "Salt- och Pepparkarlen," Bacon & Ägg launch their new restaurant with high hopes—only to be baffled by a mysterious regular guest who always drowns the food in salt and pepper, each time triggering a fresh disaster. When they serve their mother’s famous meatballs, the guest surprisingly needs neither spice, and quietly departs, leaving behind more questions than answers.
In *Morra Morra-atollens hemlighet*, James Hund washes up on a deserted island after the Rainbow Terrier is sunk by French forces near the Morra Morra-atoll. Stranded and stumbling into the secret French project La Projecte, he uncovers a wild scheme using a quantum pocket from old nuclear tests to store decades of excess wine—intended to power a champagne-flask rocket that'll launch France’s new space station and dominate orbit. With a single misstep, James triggers the launch early, sending the president hurtling into space before anyone can stop it.
In a distant future, agent Cordon Bleu investigates a heist at the genetic bank, where he stumbles upon whispers of the mysterious Invisible War. Following clues tied to rock star codenames like "Ringo Starr" and "Mick Jagger," he tracks them to a shady bar on Lidingön—only to witness their murders and a shadowy figure who escapes. As he talks with the bank's guard, Dick Granberg, Cordon Bleu learns the war is fought with nanotechnology, sparking a new theory about the true nature of the conflict.
