Note: Yes, is does indeed look like Sweden published the stories just a few weeks after they were published in the USA, but the truth isn't quite as fantastic. Up to 1989 the comic books in USA were cover-dated with a date four months into the future. So in reality the Swedish publication was still a few months behind.
At this point in time Marvel Comics made a slight adjustment to reduce the difference between the cover date and the real date of publication somewhat though. That's why both #58 and #59 are marked 'November'. The same thing happened the following two months, when both #60 and #61 were marked 'December'.


Original idea: Rikard Bakke.
