Rock and Pop

Well, despite the title this post will not be about music. Instead you'll get links to two brand new Swedish web comics by Johan Wanloo and Jimmy Wallin respectively.

Rock Manlyfist
First out is Rock Manlyfist by Johan Wanloo. It began less than a month ago and is updated weekly. Check out why he's called the master of Space Karate! Just click HERE!

Popeye
Or "Karl-Alfred" as he's known as in Sweden, makes his return in an adventure on Skull Cave Island.
Written and drawn by Jimmy Wallin.

Found a font

Remember the "Looking for a font" post?
Here's what the cover ended up like.

Now, off to the Gothenburg bookfair!

Johnny Hazard Sunday Part IV

Even later than last week, but better late than never...
Here we bring you the Johnny Hazard Sunday for 9-4, 1955. Enjoy!

Bamse & Nina Kanin

Next week will see the release of "my" new book: Bamse och Nina Kanin på äventyr! ("Bamse and Nina Kanin's adventure") This is the third book I've written in the series of new Bamse books. (Twelve books in total. The other books are written by Mårten Melin, Charlotta Borelius and others.)
The two other books I wrote were re-makes of comic book stories*, but this one is an all new story. (*Based on plots by me and scripts by Mårten.)

Artwork is by Thomas Holm who did both pencils and inks.
And he recently surprised me with giving me the original art to one of the spreads!
Thanks, Thomas! I love it!

Johnny Hazard Sunday Part III

This week we bring you a Johnny Hazard Sunday from 11-14, 1954.
Enjoy!











Next Sunday: 9-4, 1955.

Coming soon

PS. I havn't forgotten that it's sunday, but I've been away the whole day.
So this weeks Johnny Hazard sunday will appear on monday instead.

E&S revisited

A quick update if anyone wonders what I'm up to right now, this very moment at a café in Gothenburg, drinking coffee and eating blueberry muffins.
I'm currently working on the 8'th issue of mine, Emma's and Hedvig's "Emma & Sara". This issue will feature all the pages we made in 2008 and sporting a brand new cover by Hedvig. (I hope. Please, Hedvig!)
It will be in black and white with color covers as usual.
If everything falls in to place it will be released at SPX in 2011. :)

I sure miss working with Emma and Hedvig on this bi-weekly page.
It was fun. But nine years is quite a long time for a comic to last nowdays, anyway.
Here are some sample panels in color, from 2008.

"Where there's smoke" Part III

The third and final installment of Carl Barks Junior Woodchucks story "Where there's smoke". Notice that Bill doesn't have the original for page 11, so what's shown here is a photocopy. Enjoy!

Johnny Hazard Sunday Part II

Sunday and time for another Frank Robbins page from the collection of Bill Peckmann. This time we have one from 1947!


And some close-ups for your viewing pleasure:
