And why does the Phantom start a co-operative society in the jungle and act as a mouthpiece for Prime Minister Olof Palme? And in reverse: why is it almost impossible to imagine Spider-Man, Tintin, or Archie ruminating about trade union issues, gender equality on the labour market, or taking a stand against the apartheid regimes in Southern Africa?New Left Comics examines the leftist radicalisation in Sweden during the decade immediately succeeding 1968 through the lens of comic books.
