A brief history of Siglufjörður Printing house

The 1980s could be considered the golden age of comic books in Iceland, a time when the Siglufjörður Printing House was at its peak. Between 1979 and 1992, they published about eight famous titles from comic book giants Marvel and DC.
Their first title was Tarzan from DC. They achieved immense popularity, primarily because everyone could now read the comics, regardless of whether they knew English or not. A year later, two titles were released Korak (Tarzan’s Son) and Laurel and Hardy and in my opinion, they took a major step backward with these.
Korak became popular with the younger generation, but older comic book readers viewed him as a poor advertisement for Tarzan. Meanwhile, the Laurel and Hardy stories—based on the classic, brilliant films featuring the same duo—were terribly unfunny and dull, and no matter how many years they were sold, very few copies were actually purchased.
However, the years 1984–89 saw a great flourishing of activity. They obtained permission to translate the old Marvel and DC comics. Spider-Man was given the name Kóngulóarmaðurinn and became their most popular title. Superman became Súpermann, Batman became "Batmann", Hulk became Risinn while Tom and Jerry on the other hand, kept their original names
