About the series
Petzi, known as Rasmus Klump in its original Danish, is a charming all-ages comic series published by Casterman from 1958 to 1984, spanning 32 issues. Created by Carla and Vilhelm Hansen, the series follows the gentle, curious bear Petzi and his animal friends on whimsical, globe-trotting adventures that blend gentle humor with a spirit of exploration. Its clean, expressive artwork and timeless, pacifist storytelling made it a beloved staple of European comics, particularly in Scandinavia and France, where it remains a touchstone for cozy, imaginative children's literature.
