Pondus Comic Book, "Pondus 4: Opp fra dypet!"

This item is a comic book titled "Pondus" with the subtitle "Opp fra dypet" (From the Deep). It appears to be issue number 4, indicated by a circular emblem on the top right of the cover that reads '4'. The cover art features a character, presumably Pondus based on the series name, an older man with a prominent nose, eyeglasses, and a ginger beard, holding an orange jar. He is shown looking intently at a stylized grey fish with red fins. The fish is in mid-air, having seemingly jumped "from the deep" of what appears to be an aquarium or fish tank, represented by the blue and green segment at the bottom right. Another smaller fish is visible within the aquatic scene. The comic book has a softcover made of paper, with a predominantly light purple background on the front cover. The title 'PONDUS' is rendered in large, stylized orange letters. The bottom left corner of the cover contains a barcode and text in Norwegian listing pricing information ('kr 62.00') and identifying the item as 'TEGNESERIE' (comic series). The comic shows some signs of wear, particularly along the edges and corners, suggesting it is a used item. There are no obvious tears or significant damage visible that would impede its readability, though minor creasing or scuffing may be present on the edges. The overall aesthetic suggests a modern comic book, likely published in the late 20th or early 21st century given the printing style and barcode format. The graphic style is characteristic of contemporary European comic art.
