Hanne

Hanne made her comics debut in 1959, stepping onto the Silver Age scene through the Norwegian publisher Serieforlaget in the pages of Hakke Hakkespett og andre skøyere — a title that gathered a wonderfully eclectic cast of characters. Created by John Carey, she would go on to share those Scandinavian pages with the likes of Hakke Hakkespett, Pingo Pingvin, and Andy Panda across a run that stretched into the mid-1960s. With 19 catalogued appearances spread across Hakke Hakkespett and its companion series, Hanne is a charming piece of Nordic comics history — the kind of discovery that reminds collectors just how rich and varied the Silver Age was beyond the American mainstream.
