Åsa-Nisse

Åsa-Nisse, a Swedish comic series published by Semic from 1975 to 1985, brought the beloved rural folk character from film and radio into a long-running 144-issue comic. Anchored by the consistent work of writers Bob Weber Sr., Göran Ribe, and Ingvar Persson, alongside artists Gösta Gummesson and Weber, the series captured the gentle, humorous misadventures of its titular farmer and his neighbor Klabbarparn in a distinctly Scandinavian countryside setting. It stands as a key example of Semic’s mid-century output, adapting a national cultural icon into a format that delighted readers for a decade.
