Eugen Semitjov (22 May 1923 – 12 June 1987) was a Swedish journalist, author and artist of Russian descent who was born in Sweden. He started drawing in 1942 during his Swedish militaryservice. He was an expert in spacecraft, especially Soviet ones and worked as a translator from Russian during Juriy Gagarin visit to Sweden. He was the author of the science fiction comic Allan Kämpe, which was first published in 1964. The stories might at first seem to be a simply copy of Flash Gordon, the comic have more in common with Sidney Jordans, 'Jeff Hawke'. He also often worked as an illustrator for Aftonbladet, especially when the subject was related to space technology, he covered the Apollo space program as a journalist in Florida. As a russian speaker he got rare interviews with people involved in the Soviet space program. His non-fiction books covered science, speculative science, such as possible future space colonies, starships. One interesting detail is that Eugen -at a time when the belief that aliens visited Earth were common - published one book on the subject which he deliberately gave a title and cover art to attract the 'true believers'. Where the bulk of the book were debunking a number of the most known UFO cases.
