Mavis Jävelberg
Mavis Jävelberg stepped onto the page in 1998 as part of the irreverent Scandinavian comics world of Herman Hedning, a series published by Egmont that quickly carved out its own cult corner of the Modern Age. Created by the trio of Ulf Granberg, Patrik Norrman, and Jonas Darnell, Mavis inhabits a wonderfully offbeat universe populated by the likes of Kyrkoherden, Egg, Skaparen, and the magnificently named Kommissarie Barskebäck — company that suggests this is a comic with real personality and wit to spare. With 59 catalogued appearances across thirteen years and three collector-recognized key issues to her name, Mavis is far more than a background player — she's a genuine fixture of a series that rewarded its loyal readers. For fans of European alternative comics with a distinctly Nordic flavor, she's exactly the kind of character worth tracking down.
