Swedish Comics?

So, a friend of mine is moving back to her homeland of Sweden in a month or so. Now me being a huge comics nerd I though a nice gift for her would be a few comics in Swedish (I'm hoping for NextWave Vol 1, but frankly I'l take whatever I can find that I know is decent).

Unfortunately, the place I generally get my comics online from (Amazon UK) don't seem to have a Sedish counterpart, so I'm sort of in the shit.

Any ideas?

Okay, so some really massive amount of Google searches later and it appears you can't buy comics in swedish. (How non-english-speaking people read comcis is lost to me)

Is this actually true, or am I being a massive spastic?

I live in Sweden, and yes, we have comics with swedish text. But mostly big name stuff like spider-man, batman and stuffs.

That's precisely what I'm looking for! Big chunky superhero fare.

Where do you buy them?

A quick look-around shows that SF-bokhandeln (The Science Fiction Bookshop) has a fairly extensive selection of comics translated into swedish. The do foreign shipping from what I can tell from the page as well, but have a minimum order of 300 swedish krona, a lttle less than 30 euro. You might have some problems navigating their site if you do not speak swedish, but you can try sending them an email here:

Here is the site:

You can purchase Swedish comics such as Asa-Nisse, Lila Fridolf and Agent X9 on Amazon.com.

I also found another site, magazineexpress.com, where you can order Kalle Anka (Donald Duck) Musse Pig (Mickey Mouse), and the most popular Swedish comic, 91:AN (which I just ordered yesterday).
