'Merebut Kota Perjuangan'.
Wid N.S., pseudonym of Wida Nara Soma, was born in 1938 in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. He did not graduate from high school and has never had any official art education. His taste - and talent - for drawing brought him to become a comic artist in 1968. His first comic was paid 7500 Rupiah, but later in the 1970s he was paid 50.000 Rupiah for the same number of pages. He was also very fond of science fiction.
'Pembayun'.
Wid N.S. created the character Godam and also made silat (Indonesian martial arts) comics and religious comics for a Catholic publisher, Kanisius: a teenage romance that contained morality and of high quality (Fadjar), printed in colors with the offset technique.
'Merebut Kota Perjuangan'.
Wid N.S. also illustrated an educational comic, 'Merebut Kota Perjuangan', about the Indonesian struggle for independency from Dutch occupation in 1948. The cover of the first edition was considered too anti-Dutch to be released in The Netherlands. A second version was more neutral, but still only appeared in print in 1984!
