Tintins äventyr: Kung Ottokars spira

Hergé’s classic Tintin adventure Kung Ottokars spira (The Sceptre of Ottokar) was published in Swedish by Bonniers in 1960 as a single-issue comic. This story, originally serialized in the late 1930s, plunges Tintin into the fictional Balkan kingdom of Syldavia to foil a coup plot involving the theft of the royal sceptre. While Hergé created the original art and story, the Swedish edition credits Per Kellberg as co-writer for the translation and adaptation. It stands as a key entry in the Tintin canon, showcasing Hergé’s meticulous research and tight political thriller plotting.
