Rolf Gohs
Rolf Gohs (born in 1933) is a Swedish comic creator. He was born in Estonia but moved to Sweden in 1946.
Primarly famous for his artwork, Gohs usually writes his own stories as well. Early works such as Mannen från Claa and Dödens Fågel were well-received. For several years, he has also produced covers for the Swedish Phantom comic book. Many of his works have been published outside Sweden.
In 1969, Gohs created his most famous comic, Mystiska 2:an (The Mysterious Two) about two young teenagers in Stockholm. Sometimes the stories were pure adventure style, at other times more of social realism. Mystiska 2:an was published irregularly in comic books and album form for almost twenty years. However, a 1980s story where one of the young boys fell in love with a grown-up man, caused some controversy on the Swedish comic book arena, and apparently meant the end of the feature.
Since then, Gohs has produced a comic book story about the legendary Children's Crusade directly for the Swedish Phantom comic book.
