Tumac

A Bronze Age discovery from the Scandinavian comics publisher Semic, Tumac burst onto the page in 1978 with painted artwork that gave the series a distinctively rich, illustrated quality setting it apart from the mainstream superhero fare of the era. Over a run stretching into the mid-1980s, this character built a dedicated following across both the regular Tumac series and the collected Tumac årsalbum annuals — a sure sign of an audience hungry for more. With nearly three decades of catalog appearances, Tumac remains a rewarding find for collectors with a taste for European adventure comics and the gorgeous painted aesthetics that defined so much of the continent's storytelling tradition.
