Nils Holgersson

Nils Holgersson, a two-issue comic series from German publisher Bastei Verlag (1982–1983), adapts Selma Lagerlöf's classic Swedish children's novel about a boy who travels across the country on the back of a goose. This brief but visually distinctive series brings the beloved story of adventure and personal growth to a new format, offering a compact, illustrated take on the journey of a mischievous boy learning empathy and courage. While the series is short, it represents a niche but charming entry in European comic adaptations of literary classics.
