'Robert Aman’s eye-opening monograph New Left Comics documents a peculiar chapter of Sweden’s 1970s cultural history—best-selling left-wing comics series whose mass appeal was rooted in the country’s post-1968 ideological mainstreaming of social justice and Third-Worldism.'
- Jean-Paul Gabilliet, Professor of Comics History, University of Bordeaux Montaigne
