Rocky(comic strip) |
Rocky is a Swedish comic strip created by Martin Kellerman. It was first published in the free newspaper Metro Stockholm in 1998, and later picked up by Aftonbladet and Dagens Nyheter. Rocky himself is a dog, just like every other character in the strips are anthropomorphic animals. Rocky is Kellerman's way of writing an autobiography, the stories are about him and his friends' everyday life in Stockholm. That is also the reasoning behind the antropomorphic characters; Kellerman once said that realistically depicting him and his friends in their embarrassing situations would be an insult towards him and his buddies.
The strips have been collected in several books, first one published in 1999. On August 10, 2004 the first edition of Rocky the comic magazine was released in Sweden, Rocky had already had his own magazine in Norway for a year by then. In November 2005 the first album was released in United States. Twelve albums have been published in Swedish as of 2007. Rocky has also been performed as a touring play in 2000.
