Instant Karma

Arne W. Isachsen’s Instant Karma is a singular, self-contained comic from Norwegian publisher Regnbuetrykk, launched in 1973. A one-issue creation written and drawn entirely by Isachsen, it stands as a compact, personal statement from the artist, offering a snapshot of early 1970s underground comix sensibilities in Norway. Its significance lies in its rarity as a complete, auteur-driven work from a niche publisher, capturing a specific moment in Scandinavian counterculture.
