Amputerte Klassikere

Steffen Kverneland, a singular force in Norwegian comics, launched Amputerte Klassikere in 1996 with Spartacus Forlag, a series that has so far comprised a single, celebrated issue. True to its title, the book offers a wry, visually inventive take on literary classics, with Kverneland both writing and illustrating these deliberately "amputated" adaptations. It stands as a distinctive, early landmark in Kverneland's career, showcasing the irreverent, formally playful approach that would define his later, acclaimed biographical works.
