HK Hakkespettkommandoen

From 1996 to 1998, Hjemmet/Egmont published HK Hakkespettkommandoen, a 16-issue Norwegian comic series that brought together a lineup of classic cartoon characters under a single, playful banner. Best remembered for its energetic, kid-friendly adventures featuring the likes of Woody Woodpecker and his cohorts, the series offered a consistent dose of slapstick humor and colorful art during its short but fondly recalled run. It stands as a niche but charming example of European licensing and anthology-style publishing in the late 1990s.
