Bamse

Rune Andréasson’s beloved Swedish creation, Bamse, ran for 41 issues from 1973 to 1976 under Williams Förlags AB, starring the world’s strongest bear and his friends in gentle, family-friendly adventures. Written and drawn almost entirely by Andréasson himself, the series established the enduring tone of kindness, problem-solving, and moral lessons that would define the character for decades. This original run laid the foundation for one of Sweden’s most cherished comic icons.
