GLÖMP IN GENERAL


"Like something heavy dropping into oil." - Anonymous

"A typical "glomp" involves bear hugging someone." - Wikipedia

Glömp is an annual Finnish comics anthology released since year 1997. The publication started as a photocopied small fanzine that got bigger issue by issue. Intented to be a forum for new Finnish artists the publication later turned into an annual international book. Glömp is edited, designed and published by Tommi Musturi, who also contributes in the anthology as an artist.

The publication does not believe in being thematical wholesome but tries to find coherence from inside the group of contributors, their relativies and attitude towards life. Intention is to make honest, good and timeless releases. The editorial encourages artists for experiments. Often described being 'poetic comics', Glömp tries to stretch the limits of comic form, to be free platform for the artists invited along.

After nine issues, Glömp has featured 93 authors on its 1260 pages.
