Silent Sam (comics)

"Silent Sam" is the American name for the Swedish comic strip "Adamson", created by Oscar Jacobsson in 1920. Adamson himself was a silent little cigar-smoking man with a big hat and frequent misadventures. The strip originally appeared in the Swedish humor publication "Söndags-Nisse", where it debuted on October 17, 1920. It soon became very popular and was published in hundreds of newspapers all over the world. In 1965, Svenska Seriakademin (The Swedish Comic Academy) founded the Adamson Award in Jacobsson's honor. This award is awarded to one Swedish and one international comic creator every year.
