Helgenen

Helgenen, a 52-issue series published by Romanforlaget from 1966 to 1973, brought the adventures of the debonair criminal-turned-hero Simon Templar to a Norwegian audience. Featuring painted covers and stories primarily by Leslie Charteris, the character’s creator, alongside contributions from writer Nemo and artists like Martín Salvador and Jack Spranger, the series stands as a key European entry in the Saint’s long comic-book history. Its run captures the cool, globe-trotting espionage flavor of the era, making it a fondly remembered piece of 1960s Nordic comics.
