Nils Holgersson

Juniorpress brought the classic Swedish children's story to comics form in this 35-issue series, which ran from 1983 to 1985. Adapting Selma Lagerlöf's beloved tale of a boy who travels across Sweden on the back of a goose, the series stands as a notable European comic adaptation of literary source material. Though the creative team is not widely documented in English-language sources, the series represents Juniorpress's commitment to publishing quality children's adventure comics during the early 1980s. Its relatively long run speaks to its popularity among young readers of the era.
