Production in Sweden

General information

In the first issue (1937) of "Musse Pigg Tidningen" there where 3 Disney Comics, which where made in Sweden.

The defective bureau with Mickey Mouse and Goofy. (Detective was spelled as above, with an "F".)
An adventure with Mickey's nephews (Teddy and Freddy) and Donald Duck. (Mickey's nephews where called "The smalspikes", or something like that).
Mickey Mouse in the land of the Giants. (After 8 issues this story was replaced by Hiawatha, which after 10 episodes was replaced by Don Mickey)

These stories covered one page each per issue, and then continued in the next one, and the next one, and so on.
The stories where written by Roland Romell and drawn by Birger Allernäs Lars Bylund and sometimes Åke Skiöld.
The last issue (#25) of "MPT" came out in 1938.

This information was collected from and article by Ebbe Zetterstads, in "Seriekatalogen 1996-1997".

François W. discovered that the "Defective Agency" story was actually redrawn from a UK story. The UK version also featured non-Disney characters that could not be used in Sweden. That's the most likely reason for the redrawing.

More research about the other stories is needed!

Story codes

As far as we know, the old Swedish stories did not have a story code.

Story codes in the INDUCKS

The stories mentioned above have a code starting with "XS ", followed by the Swedish publication of the first part of the story.

Some covers and illustrations, made for Egmont, were printed in Sweden only, and have no known story code. We give them a code starting with XSC.

The XSC codes are also used for some special Swedish items, not produced for Egmont.
