Ferd'nand

A single-issue newspaper strip collection from 1941, Ferd'nand is the inaugural compilation of Henning Dahl Mikkelsen's beloved, wordless gag strip. Published by PIB (Presse-Illustrations-Bureau), this volume gathers the earliest adventures of the balding, mustachioed everyman whose silent, slapstick mishaps became a fixture of mid-century European comics. It marks the first archival presentation of a strip that would run for decades, establishing Mikkelsen's gentle, observational humor as a cornerstone of the form.
