Adamson

From its debut in 1924, Oscar Jacobsson’s wordless pantomime strip Adamson became a quiet landmark in comics, following the gentle, everyday misadventures of its round-headed protagonist. Published by Zander, the series relies entirely on expressive linework and visual gags, requiring no dialogue to charm readers. Jacobsson’s distinctive, minimalist style and the strip’s universal humor made it an enduring favorite, with its single-issue format belied by decades of continued publication.
