Tage Andersen was the artist of a new series of the 'Willy på Eventyr' comic in Familie-Journalen, together with writer Aage Grauballe. The strip was based on the British comic 'Rob the Rover', created by Walter Booth, that was continued in Scandinavia by Harry Nielsen from 1941 to 1947. Andersen and Grauballe transformed the traditional adventure comic into a Flash Gordon-like science fiction serial. It ran until 1977.
Andersen was also an illustrator of short stories and novels for Allers Familien-Record. He was a recognised artist with a specialty in drawing mushrooms for botanical books. He passed away in April 1981 at age 58. Coincidentally his long-term scriptwriter Aage Grauballe died that same year, only five months later.
