Rolf Ernst Gohs (born October 26, 1933, died August 23, 2020) was a talented Swedish comic book artist and writer. He was born in Estonia but moved to Sweden in 1946 when he was 13 years old.
Who Was Rolf Gohs?
Rolf Gohs was famous for his amazing drawings. He often wrote his own stories too. His early works, like Mannen från Claa (The Man from Claa) and Dödens Fågel (The Bird of Death), were very popular. People really enjoyed his unique style.
Drawing for The Phantom
In 1957, Rolf Gohs started creating covers for the Swedish "Fantomen" comic book. He also drew some pictures inside the comics. Today, he is probably best known for these fantastic cover paintings. He became Sweden's most important comic book cover artist. Gohs drew covers for many well-known comic characters from all over the world. Many of his artworks were also published outside Sweden.
The Mysterious Two Comic
In 1969, Gohs created his most famous comic series, Mystiska 2:an (The Mysterious Two). It was about two young teenagers living in Stockholm. Sometimes their stories were exciting adventures. Other times, they showed real-life issues. Mystiska 2:an was published off and on in comic books and special albums for almost 20 years. However, one story in the 1980s caused some discussion. This led to the comic series ending, as well as the magazine Comet where it was published.
Later Comic Works
After Mystiska 2:an, Rolf Gohs created another comic book story. This one was about the famous Children's Crusade. He drew this story directly for the Swedish Phantom comic book.
