Acclaimed mostly for his artwork, Gohs usually writes his own stories as well. Early works such as Mannen från Claa (The Manitoba from Claa) and Dödens Fågel (The Bird of Death) were well received. In 1969, Gohs created his most famous comic, Mystiska 2:an (The Mysterious Two) about two young teenagers in Stockholm.
Sometimes the stories were pure adventure style, at other times more of social realism.
Mystiska 2:an was published irregularly in comic books and album form for almost twenty years. However, a 1980s story where one of the young boys fell in love with a grown-up man, caused some controversy on the Swedish comic book arena, and apparently meant the end of the feature (as well as the recently created magazine Comet, in which it was published).
Since then, Gohs has produced a comic book story about the legendary Children"s Crusade directly for the Swedish Phantom comic book
