Jenni Rope [Finland] tells a minimalist tale of heartbreak in “The Island”; Peter Kielland’s [Denmark] Mr. Pig has an eventful day; Joanna Rubin Dranger [Sweden] is “Always Prepared to Die for My Child”; Crumb-esque satirist Christopher Nielsen [Norway] boils down all of life to an eternal journey up the “Escalator”; Tommi Musturi [Finland] provides two full-color Jim Woodringesque romps featuring his “Samuel” character; Johan F. Krarup [Denmark] visits a compulsive comics collector in “Nostalgia”; plus Bendik Kaltenborn’s [Norway] “The Great Underneath,” a dazzling wordless piece from Mardøn Smet [Denmark], the legendary Swedish cartoonist Joakim Pirinen’s ultra-virtuoso “My Life,” Drawn & Quarterly-published Amanda Vähämäki’s [Finland] pencil-smudges, and much more.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This anthology of comics offers an intoxicating and compelling sampling of works from Scandinavian countries. Jenni Rope tells a minimalist tale of heartbreak, Peter Kielland's 'Mr Pig' has an eventful day, while Crumb-esque artist Christopher Nielsen of Norway boils all of life down to an eternal journey up the 'Escalator'. This represents a small smattering of the creative, entertaining and original comic concepts to be found in Kolor Klimax. The work of pioneering Scandinavian alternative cartoonists is beautifully presented.
