For Swedish I'd recommend Arne Anka, about a depressed, alhoholic, failed poet, bearing a close physical likeness to Donald Duck. He is usually situated in a bar, discussing politics, culture, and life in general in a rather cynical manner. I have also heard much good appraisal for Rocky and Simons 120 dagar. You can read more about them here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocky_%28comic_strip%29 and http://www.topshelfcomix.com/catalog.php?type=12&title=648 EDIT: Apparently you can find some pages of both Arne Anka and Rocky here: http://www.dagensarbete.se/home/da/home.NSF/unid/D3F937DEB27 3AA6A412569CA0046372A Edited by MahaKali on 29 October 2009 at 1:03pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

For Bulgarian I can recommend my own comics (or more like a graphical novel) but beware, it's a bit ugly ^_^.

Are you guys kidding? Comics are probably the best way to learn a foreign language. Not the lame ones
with punchlines that you find in the newspapers, but proper ones like graphic novels. I didn't know any casual German until I read Akira in it. They have great language but it's not as overwhelming as full novels. The pictures also help give context even if you don't understand every word. I would learn almost entirely from comics if I could, at least in the beginning-intermediate stages. Unfortunately it's hard to find enough good ones which are translated. I have yet to find a foreign-language Watchmen, which is a tragedy... 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

It's easy to find the big-name ones like Watchmen, V for Vendetta, etc, in German on amazon.de ("Die Wächter", and "V wie Vendetta"). They're also available in Swedish on bokus.com, except there they have the English titles on the Swedish versions, so you have to hunt around until you get the one that says Språk: Svenska

Thanks, after spending slightly more than the original thirty seconds to look for it, I have found Watchmen in
Spanish, among others. I'm really happy. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Here is large collection of comics in Dutch. I'd be interested in any other good ones in Dutch that you have found.
