US comic size
B&w
40pp
5 Euros
Sadly, Pekka A. Manninen who publishes this is not online. Sensibly he ignores the internet. That said you might find copies in an online search from other sellers.
Again, this is in Finnish and each issue tends to have a theme -this issue it is dragons. For 106 issues now this has been THE publication to see Finnish comic creators with styles varying from high quality to amateur and in 20 or so (I'm old and I do have copies from the 1980s) years the comic has never failed to entertain me and though I have tried to learn Finnish...I gave up.
Home publication of Kapteeni Kuolio (Captain Gangrene) -the origin of whom Manninen related in the old CBO interview (reprinted in The Hooper Interviews). I did mention Manninnen's other work in a post a while ago now:

Sadly my camera (no scanner) does not do the pages justice but it would be nice to see real comic lovers getting hold of copies of this gem.
