Serietidningen Yps

Sweden’s long-running anthology Serietidningen Yps has been a mainstay of the country’s alternative comics scene since 1982, published by Tidningshuset Lerum. Though it has only released 11 issues over its decades-spanning run, the series is celebrated for its eclectic mix of satirical, surreal, and experimental strips from a rotating cast of Nordic and European cartoonists. Its irregular, almost artisanal pace has made each issue an event, preserving a space for boundary-pushing work that mainstream weeklies often bypass. For fans of offbeat European humor and graphic storytelling, Yps remains a quietly essential touchstone.
