Scandinavian creators

[Rob Klein]

Sigvald: Yes, there are many, many more Scandinavian creators. (I think the 
number might top 100-but not sure).  Perhaps David G. can tell us.  I doubt 
that he has time from his busy schedule to research that question.  But, when I 
worked in Gimle Studio in the late 1980s and early 1990s, there were at least 5-
6 artists writing and storyboarding stories for Gutenberghus(Egmont). I also 
met 8-10 more Danes who were casually sending in a few scripts. I also knew 
several Swedes in The Malmo(e) office (and one or two in Copenhagen) in 
addition to the Prinz-Pahlssons and Peter Hartfeldt, who were writing stories. 
I also remember seeing many, many more scandinavian names as writer on the 
comic's stories after the names were printed in the books.  Just look at your 
Anders And, Kalle Anka or Norsk "Donald Duck".

Also, as you are interested in who the Norwegian creators are, you should know 
that Gorm Transgaard is half Norwegian and half Danish. He has not only written 
stories while in Denmark and Norway, and many stories while living in Costa 
Rica, but also many while living in Nepal, and a few while traveling in India, 
and several other "exotic" countries.
