Egon Elg og sigarettene

A single-issue Norwegian comic, Egon Elg og sigarettene was published from 1984 to 1998 by Statens Tobakkskaderåd (the Norwegian National Council on Tobacco-related harm). This educational comic, produced over a lengthy period despite only one issue, uses the character Egon Elg to deliver an anti-smoking message directly to young readers. It stands as a unique example of a government health campaign using the comic medium for public information.
