Singel & Sugen #[nn]

The cover of this 2009 Norwegian entry in the Singel & Sugen series features a brooding, fur-clad hulk of a figure looming large against a fiery red background, while two wide-eyed, panicked smaller characters cower at his feet — a nicely absurd setup that promises plenty of comedic tension. Created entirely by Charlotte Helgeland, whose linework gives the scene a wonderfully expressive cartoon energy, this issue pairs that striking image with the story "Jentene på tur!" At 44,50 NOK, it's a fun slice of Norwegian comics from Bladkompaniet / Schibsted.
