Sweden Gets Its First Superhero

For all of its love of The Phantom, Spider-Man and Donald Duck spinoffs, Sweden has never had its own, its very own superhero. It may possibly be the only nation in the world not to have had one at some point.

That has changed this year with Agent Marc Saunders. Written and drawn by Mikael Bergkvist and inked by Joe Rubenstein (yes, that Joe Rubenstein), the second issue is just out, 108 colour pages an issue, published four times a year.

Superstrong and invulnerable, working in international espionage, his true power is his intelligence.

How very Swedish.

UPDATE: At one point, this comic was a Zuda entry called The Ares Imperative with Steve Ekstrom. Looks like America's loss was Sweden's gain.
