About the series
In 1991, Norsk Folkeminnelag and Aschehoug published a single-issue comic by writer Jostein Mykletun and artist Håkon Aasnes, part of the Norsk folkeminnelags skrifter series. This entry adapts the legendary exploits of the 19th-century Norwegian outlaw Gjest Baardsen, a folk hero whose life of crime and cunning escapes became woven into national folklore. It stands as a unique, scholarly-minded graphic treatment of a classic Norwegian rogue tale, blending historical research with the visual storytelling of two of Norway's most respected comics creators.
