Pippi

Over four issues from 1971 to 1972, Danish publisher N.W. Damm & Søn (Damms Forlag) collected Astrid Lindgren and Ingrid Vang Nyman’s celebrated comic strips starring the irrepressible Pippi Longstocking. While the character was already beloved from Lindgren’s novels, this series captured her anarchic adventures in a fresh, panel-by-panel format, with Vang Nyman’s vibrant, expressive art giving Pippi’s world a distinctive visual energy. It stands as a key document of mid-century European children’s comics, preserving the original collaboration between author and artist that defined the character’s look.
