Through the window of a one-room flat one can see the parking lot, sidewalks and street lights. The knight puts on his armour and raises his flag. World is still in need of a hero. The knight wants to win the war, even though he has already lost all the battles.

"We'll leave home before the dark. We have to guard our money and go to sleep at half past ten." - Robin Hood and Batman

These knights are in no danger. To failure doesn't mean anything to them. What is for sale they can reach. Arguments they solve with small talk. And so on...

Jyrki Nissinen is the most productive Finnish comic artist. The Boring Knights is a staggering travel story but also an absurd tale about the true surviviors of our society - the mediocres of welfare state. These guys figure out something's wrong, they get angry and give up after facing the first misfortune. Factory farmed food has fulfilled its mission and staring a duck lay an egg seems as important as anything else.

Lust for Meat tells about the challenge with small incidents in daily life, ponders of the author, in objects and even recipes.

"Your body and soulis going through peculiar things. My task is to ease your burden." - The Period Buddy. Jarno Latva-Nikkola can be described as the main figure of the Finnish underground comics of this millenium. His work is dark in humour, laugh at everything and always surpises the reader. There's some strangely twisted and merciless logic in what Latva-Nikkola does - his comics first faze, then scare and in the end, make the reader laugh. Behind the weird world of his there's an inner beauty, something idealistic. The Most Beautiful of Jarno Markus is a collection of author's comics and drawings from his childhood up to today. Latva-Nikkola's drawings are rough, charistmatic blasts of freedom. At the same time they show a very Finnish view on reality - the choking touch of life. Jarno Latva-Nikkola (b.1975) lives and works in Helsinki as a comic and fine artist.

After several turns our antihero ends up meeting the true Master of Emotions, and principles of love take a new logical form. If authorities and institutions are something that we should fight against, Latva-Nikkola does it with grade A. This cult star familiar from countless anthologies puts out some of the darkest humour out there. No sweat shall be spared!

Hanneriina Moisseinen: Sets and Scores - Shameful Stories - 9.60 EUR - 13.00 USD *
2010 / 60 pages in full colour / 206 x 216 mm / 8.11" x 8.50" / Edition of 800
