Kapten Stofil: Världens främste bakåtsträvare #[nn]

A speeding train dominates the cover of this 1998 Ordfront Galago release, its bold, cartoonish face grinning as it barrels toward the viewer while a hapless figure scrambles clear of the tracks. Joakim Lindengren's sharp linework and vivid colors give the scene a wonderfully absurd energy that perfectly suits the misadventures of Kapten Stofil — "världens främste bakåtsträvare," the world's foremost reactionary. A delightful slice of Swedish comics wit from one of its most distinctive voices.
