Joakim Lindengren (born March 28, 1962) is a Swedish cartoonist, illustrator and artist.
Career
Lindengren studied fine arts at Västerås Konstskola and Konstfack in Stockholm. He made his comic album debut in the early 1980s.[1][2] He has been published in magazines such as Pondus, Galago, Pyton and Mega-Pyton and has created more than twenty comic book albums. He and David Nessle collaborated on the popular series John Holmes & Sherlock Watson.[3]
Lindengren created the superhero Kapten Stofil (Captain Geezer), a series about an old grumpy man whose sole power is conjuring 1950s and 60s nostalgia. The character resents technology and progress in general. The series is drawn by hand in a Silver Agepastiche style. The hero in the series had his own comic book series as well. Kapten Stofil's alter ego is Lindengren, who is a nostalgia buff who collects vintage toys and drives an old hearse.[1]
