Raskmus Rommus

A Silver Age curiosity with genuine charm, Raskmus Rommus stepped onto the page in 1963 courtesy of creator John Carey, debuting in the Norwegian publication Hakke Hakkespett — the series where virtually all of his catalog appearances are found. With a run stretching from 1963 to 1967 under the Serieforlaget / Se-Bladene / Stabenfeldt banner, he's a small but authentic piece of Scandinavian comics history, sharing his adventures with a colorful cast that includes Hakke Hakkespett, Pingo Pingvin, and Willy Hvalross. Six appearances may be a modest tally, but for collectors with a taste for the offbeat corners of the Silver Age, Raskmus Rommus is exactly the kind of find that makes digging through international comics so rewarding.
