Sputnik

A short-lived Swedish comic from Centerförlaget, Sputnik ran for just 13 issues between 1958 and 1959, capitalizing on the Space Age fervor of its namesake satellite. The series featured a rotating roster of adventure and science fiction stories, most frequently illustrated by American talents Bob Brown and Gil Kane alongside Swedish artist Rolf Gohs. It stands as a curious artifact of Cold War-era pop culture, blending international creative forces into a pulp anthology that reflected the era's fascination with outer space.
