Very few comic strips centred on music have been realised with such brio. Small wonder, then, that these two disciplines should come together harmoniously in Perkeros, by JP Ahonen and KP Alare. But the Land of a Thousand Lakes has always been at the forefront in modern music, too: with Suomirock in the 1950s and '60s and then a few decades later with heavy metal. What is more, the Belgian Comic Strip Center paid tribute to Jansson in a major exhibition in 2010. The country’s most famous author is the artist Tove Jansson (1914-2001), whose Moomin tales have travelled the world. Finland has had a great comic book tradition for many years. ![]()
