I recently bought some black and white reprints of The Shadow comics from M W Kaluta’s run in the 1970s. They were printed in the early 80s in Sweden in a book called Giant, which was an anthology… Also has amazing Bernie Wrightson artwork on Swamp Thing.
Anyway, I learned that in Swedish, “Fin” or “The End” is “Slut”.
