Coccobill [Cocco Bill]

Benito Jacovitti’s Coccobill (also known as Cocco Bill), published by Winthers forlag from 1979 onward, is a single-issue comic strip series that brings the Italian master’s signature surreal, gag-driven Western to a Norwegian audience. Jacovitti, who both writes and draws, is the primary creative force behind the title, with Kari Normann contributing as a writer. This release captures the chaotic, cigarette-smoking cowboy’s absurd adventures in a distinctive, densely detailed style that made Jacovitti a cult figure in European comics. It’s a quirky, one-shot snapshot of a beloved character that bridges Italian humor and Scandinavian publishing.
