Description
The first issues appeared in the papers of Produkt magazine and since 2004 it has been published separately by Niezależna Prasa. It consists of 6 issues; the final bimonthly issue was published in 2006.
A prototype of "Swoboda" is the estate Szwederowo in Bydgoszcz -- the home estate of the author himself.
The comic book reflects customs of youth living back in the 90s, and therefore is considered one of the most important comic books published in Poland.
The abundance of insightful social observations deftly intertwined with the plot contributed to fame and popularity of the series among young readers.
Quote
If I was to mention the most important polish comic series published at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries, I would instantly answer that Osiedle Swoboda has no equals.
-- by Wojciech Orliński (in Gazeta Wyborcza)
