Smörbukk [Smørbukk] #1980

In "Hengglidaren," Smørbukk and Trond head to Oslo for a hanggliding course, setting off on a wild first flight that takes them through a railway tunnel, past a military base testing short-range rockets, and dangerously close to a drifting air balloon. Written by Øyvind Dybvad and illustrated with bold, dynamic detail by Solveig Muren Sanden—both penciling and inking—the story captures the thrill and unpredictability of flight, all rendered in the distinctive style of this 1980 Norwegian children’s comic. The cover by Solveig Muren Sanden perfectly captures the daring spirit of the journey.
