In 2018, Martin Kellerman put down his pen and ended the daily comic strip Rocky. In an extended interview by Nina Hemmingsson, he looks back on his life’s work and sums up 20 years through his alter ego. Collected here is the full life story, from the very beginning to the final strip. The book is a complete compilation of every Rocky daily comic ever produced.
Everyday problems, anxieties, and reflections on the times. Both the longing for love and the fear of relationships and starting a family. From beer-fueled nights at Guldapan to the quiet life at the cottage in Södermanland.
