Superjhemp was first launched in 1988 as a superhero in a comic strip. The character was first created by illustrator Roger Leiner and writer Lucien Czuga. Since then, he has appeared in over 29 graphic novels that have the highest sales rate for Luxembourgish publications.
Superjhemp is a comedic anti-hero meant to be a parody of superheroes that take themselves too seriously. Because Superjhemp has always been published in the Luxembourgish language and is full of jokes playing on the national culture in Luxembourg Superjhemp has experienced unprecedented success in Luxembourg. Beneath the superhero’s mask, Charles Kuddel is a civil servant working at the “Ministry for Unresolved Issues”. This ministry joke is a play on the fact that over 60% of Luxembourgish citizens work for the Government. Superjhemp superpowers come from Kachkéis, a cooked cheese that is historically popular and typical in Luxembourg.
