Ben-Hur: Hämnden

Ben-Hur: Hämnden, a single-issue Swedish comic from Semic Press in 1979, reimagines the classic tale of Judah Ben-Hur not as a faithful adaptation, but as a direct sequel—picking up after the events of the novel and film to explore themes of vengeance and redemption. While the series was brief, it reflects the era's European appetite for expanding on familiar literary and cinematic properties with a darker, action-oriented twist. Though no single creator is named in the available facts, the comic stands as a curious, standalone artifact of late-70s international comics publishing.
