Mannen die vrouwen haten", "De vrouw die met vuur speelde" en "Gerechtigheid": Stieg Larssons Millennium-trilogie werd, na zijn dood, wereldwijd een bestseller. Na de verfilming wordt het succesverhaal nu ook verder gezet in stripvorm. Uitgeverij Dupuis vertrouwde de verstripping van de misdaadromans toe aan twee doorgewinterde auteurs: tekenaar José Homs (Angelus) en scenarist Sylvain Runberg (Orbital). "Stieg heeft altijd van stripverhalen gehouden en zou wild zijn van het idee dat zijn personages tot leven komen in een stripalbum", zegt Joakim Larsson, de jongste broer van de schrijver. De reeks wordt verstript in zes delen, aan een tempo van twee albums per jaar. Tegen eind 2015 is de Millennium-saga dus compleet in stripvorm!
Authors
Stieg Larsson (born as Karl Stig-Erland Larsson) was a Swedish journalist and writer who passed away in 2004. As a journalist and editor of the magazine Expo , Larsson was active in documenting and exposing Swedish extreme right and racist organisations. When he died at the age of 50, Larsson left three unpublished thrillers and unfinished manuscripts for more. The first three books ( The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo , The Girl Who Played With Fire and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest ) have since been printed as the Millenium series. These books are all bestsellers in Sweden and in several other countries, including the United States and Canada. Witnessed a rape when he was 15, and was helpless to stop it. This event haunted him for the rest of his life. The girl being raped was named Lisbeth, which he later used as the name of the heroine on his Millenium trilogy. Sexual violence against women is also a recurring theme in his work. Personal quote: To exact revenge for yourself or your friends is not only a right, it's an absolute duty.
