Binky #1/1973

"Binky på vakt!" kicks off with Harald determined to stand up for himself after getting punished twice, turning to karate for protection. But when he thinks he’s finally ready to face the next bully, a familiar figure—Stålmannen—unexpectedly shows up around the corner. Written by Mats Nyberg and illustrated by Henry Scarpelli, this 1973 Swedish classic captures a moment of youthful resolve with a twist just around the corner, all brought to life in crisp, expressive art. The cover by Henry Scarpelli perfectly sets the tone for the story’s mix of humor and suspense.
