Bamse

Rune Andréasson’s Bamse (1977–1982) was a beloved Swedish comic series from Atlantic Förlags AB, spanning 55 issues. Created and almost entirely written and drawn by Andréasson, it centered on the gentle, honey-loving bear Bamse, who gains super-strength from a special brew. This family-friendly adventure strip became a defining work of Swedish comics, known for its warm humor and moral lessons without ever resorting to violence. Its enduring popularity cemented Bamse as a national icon, making this series a cornerstone of Scandinavian children’s comics.
