Trollkarlen från Id

Sweden’s Trollkarlen från Id (The Wizard of Id) is a long-running comic strip series from Semic Press, adapted from the classic American newspaper strip created by Brant Parker and Johnny Hart. Debuting in 1972, this single-issue publication collects the misadventures of the bumbling, tyrannical ruler of a medieval kingdom and his long-suffering subjects, blending sharp political satire with gentle slapstick. Though only one issue was released, the series introduced Swedish readers to the iconic, internationally syndicated humor of the original strip, making it a notable cultural touchstone for fans of translated comic collections.
