Aids

From 1987 to the present, the Norwegian series Aids was a three-issue educational comic published by Sentralrådet for narkotikaproblemer, featuring the distinctive art of Arild Midthun. Created as a public health initiative, it used the comic medium to inform readers about the AIDS crisis, with Midthun’s illustrations making the serious subject accessible to a broad audience. Though brief in its run, the series stands as a notable example of socially engaged comics in Norway, blending factual messaging with the visual storytelling of a respected local artist.
