About the series
In the mid-1990s, Swedish publisher Semic brought the gritty world of detective Axelsson to comics with this 11-issue series, 87:an Axelsson (1994–1997). Based on the popular crime novels by an unnamed author, the comic followed the tough, streetwise cop through Stockholm’s underworld, blending procedural grit with the era’s dark, realistic art style. A key entry in Nordic crime comics, it stands as a faithful adaptation of a beloved literary character, offering a distinctly Swedish take on the police procedural genre.
