About the series
In the early 1970s, Polish publisher Semic brought the wartime exploits of the resourceful Polish intelligence officer Kapten Kloss to the comics page, adapting the popular 1960s TV series Stawka większa niż życie. Running for 19 issues from 1971 to 1973, the series was primarily scripted by Andrzej Zbych and drawn by Mieczysław Wiśniewski, offering a Cold War-era take on a spy thriller set in Nazi-occupied Europe. It stands as a notable example of how Polish popular culture translated a beloved television character into a comic book format during the communist era.
