Vic

Vic, created by Viktor Nordenskiöld, ran for 21 issues from 1980 to 1987, a distinctive Swedish comic series that blended moody, expressionistic art with a noir-inflected, melancholic tone. Nordenskiöld’s singular vision as both writer and artist gave the series a cohesive, personal feel, following the quiet, introspective life of its protagonist through urban landscapes and psychological introspection. It stands as a landmark in European alternative comics, influential for its atmospheric storytelling and its departure from more conventional superhero or adventure fare of the era.
