KOTIMAISET UUTUUDET
Diaz Canales & Guardino: Blacksad 7 – Kun kaikki sortuu 2. osa
Blacksadin viimeisin seikkailu päättyy ryminällä!
Kissaetsivän ystävä, lehtimies Weekly on pidätetty epäiltynä murhasta.
Kykeneekö Blacksad todistamaan, että Weekly on lavastettu?
Samaan aikaan julma Shelby jatkaa ruumiiden tehtailuja, eikä mikään tunnu estävän häikäilemättömän grynderi Solomonin puuhia.
Kaiken huipuksi Blacksadin vanha mielitietty Alma on palannut kaupunkiin.
Mestarillisesti kuvitettu ja kirjoitettu albumi edustaa eurooppalaista sarjakuvataidetta parhaimmillaan.
Jenni Varila: Hullu koiramuija
Mitä kaikkea koiran omistamiseen liittyy?
Hullu Koiramuija tarjoaa aiheeseen vilauksen yhden koirahullun naisen silmin.
Lennokas ja humoristinen teos kulkee syvällä pentukuplassa ja yhdistelee koiran kanssa elämiseen liittyviä faktoja ja myyttejä.
Koiramuija ei etsi täydellisyyttä, vaan omaa tapaansa nauttia ja selvitä koira-arjesta. Yllätykset eivät ole vain ulkoilun haasteissa, siivousrumbassa tai tuhotuissa tavaroissa – suurin yllätys on se syvä kiintymys koiraan, jonka pieni pentu tuo omistajiensa elämään. Hieno kotimainen sarjakuvaromaani koiran omistamisen iloista ja suruista.
Gijé & Carbone: Soittorasia 4 – Kummallinen katoaminen
Nola-tytön seikkailut maagisessa Pandorientin maailmassa jatkuvat.
Nola löytää vintiltä äidin avaimen, jonka kuva on äidiltä jääneessä päiväkirjassa. Avaako avain kenties jotakin Soittorasian maailmassa?
Siellä Nola, Igor ja Andrea tutustuvat Pajuun, jonka opettaja on kadonnut salaperäisesti, joten kolmikko päättää auttaa uutta ystäväänsä.
Lisäksi Lamusteka on joutunut hankaluuksiin.
Upeasti kuvitettu fantasiasarja kaiken ikäisille lukijoille!
Pia Westerholmin henkilökohtainen ja koettu esikoissarjakuva kertoo, mitä transnuoret joutuvat käymään läpi saadakseen apua.
Perheen teinin voimat loppuvat kesken ja myös vanhempien elämä järkkyy. Tulee päiviä, jolloin nuoren itsetuhoisuus on vaarassa johtaa pahimpaan mahdolliseen loppuun. Alkaa pitkä ja mutkainen tie nuoren auttamiseksi.
Muutoshoitoa tarvitsevan täytyy todistaa uuvuttavissa kuulusteluissa, että hän todella on transsukupuolinen. Luottamus yhteiskunnan apuun horjuu, sillä päätöstä avun saamiseksi voi joutua odottamaan vuosia.
Piia Westerholm on tehnyt pitkän uran graafikkona ja kuvittajana.
Hänen ansioluetteloonsa kuuluvat Kirsi Kunnaksen Tiitiäisen kissa- ja koiraystävät -kirjan kuvitukset, oma lastenkirja Lemmikkiloma Las Palmasissa sekä nivaska Apilatien aapisia ja muita oppimateriaaleja.
Carl Barks: Carl Barksin sankarit – Pelle Peloton
Pelle Peloton on yksi Ankkalinnan kiehtovimmista hahmoista.
Tähän näyttävään opukseen on koottu Carl Barksin klassisia Pelle-tarinoita, joissa urhoollinen keksijä pääsee osoittamaan nokkeluutensa – vaikka aina keksinnöt eivät täysin vastaakaan sitä, mitä niiden toivottiin tekevän.
Mukana kuvioissa on toki Pellen uskollinen Pikku Apulainen!
Kirja sisältää mm. tarinat ”Ajatuslaatikot”, ”Teräsmadot” ja ”Keksijäin mittelö”.
Carl Barks: Carl Barksin Aku Ankka 7
Barksin mestarillisia Ankka-sarjakuvia julkaiseva albumisarja jatkuu.
Tästä osasta löytyvät tarinat ”Rämeikön arvoitus”, ”Rottasota” ja ”Akun höyrylaiva”.
Kaikki klassiset sarjat julkaistaan uusilla, korjatuilla väreillä ehostettuina.
Kuplat on ladottu Barksin käsialaan perustuvalla fontilla.

Blutch: Lucky Luke uudet seikkailut 18 – Kurittomat
Blutch eli Christian Hincker nousi 1990-luvulla ranskalaisen sarjakuvan kirkkaimpaan kärkeen.
Nyt tämä useasti palkittu sarjakuvantekijä pääsee esittelemään oman tulkintansa legendaarisesta Lucky Lukesta.
Nykysarjakuvan jättiläinen on jo näyttänyt kyntensä historiallisten aiheiden käsittelijänä, joten herran näkemystä Villistä lännestä odotetaan vesi kielellä ympäri maailmaa.
Ranskassa tämä albumi on ehdottomasti sarjakuvavuoden suurimpia tapauksia.
Luvassa on villiä viivankäyttöä ja kurittomia kakaroita, kun Blutch ottaa haltuunsa Morrisin luoman maailman.
Matti Hagelberg: Ruris Futurum
“Tulevaisuudessa kaikki maaseudun navetat on photoshopattu.
Emännät ja isännät ovat huippumalleja, kampaus on moitteeton, työasu suoraan Pariisista.
Traktoreissa on suihkumoottorit. Piharakennukset on täytetty supertietokoneilla. Häkkikanoilla on terapeutit.”
Uudessa kirjassaan Matti Hagelberg ennustaa maaseudun tulevaisuutta ja muistelee sen menneisyyttä.
Avaruuden harmaat nappaavat lehmät pelloilta ja Johnny Weissmuller kiertää maaseudulla tervehtimässä Tarzan-kerhon jäseniä.
Tapaamista jännittävä nuori Matti Hagelberg piiloutuu ruokakomeroon valkokankaan apinamieheltä ja ikimuistoinen kohtaaminen jää näin tapahtumatta.
Ufohavainnon Hagelberg kuitenkin vuosia myöhemmin tekee kävellessään ahon laitaa.
Ruris Futurum (B.E.M. 27) on raapekartongille huolella veistetty tiivistunnelmainen novellikokoelma klassista Matti Hagelbergia.
Jiipu Uusitalo: Pimeän rihmasto
Pimeän rihmasto on syvyyspsykologinen kauhusarjakuva Freudin, Jungin ja Eugen Drewermannin hengessä.
Perinteinen kummitustarina laajenee kuvaamaan murtuvaa mieltä, piilotajuisen vaikutusta meissä ja psykologista vallan väärinkäyttöä.
Uskallatko kaivautua pitkin pimeän rihmastoa ihmismielen kauhujen ytimeen?
Pimeän rihmasto on Jiipu Uusitalon viides pitkä albumi.
Saija “Saiccu” Ketolan omaelämäkerrallinen esikoisteos johdattaa lukijan nostalgiselle aikamatkalle vuosituhannen vaihteen Satakuntaan.
Ihastumisen huuma, perhosten lepatus vatsassa ja hirmuinen pettymys, jos ihastuksen kohdetta ei näe koulussa.
Teini-ikäisen Saikun hormonit hyrräävät ja kuvioihin alkaa tupsahdella toinen toistaan söpömpiä poikia.
Aikuisuuden portit raottuvat ja elämä tarjoaa ihanan jännittäviä hetkiä, mutta niiden mukana seuraavat myös uudenlaiset huolet ja murheet. Ensirakkaus antaa paljon, mutta kyllä se totisesti ottaakin.
Paljonko iskuja herkän tytön sydän kestää?
Sarjakuvan nettiversio palkittiin vuonna 2022 Helsingin sarjakuvafestivaalin Zine Festissä vuoden taivaallisimpana verkkosarjakuvana.
Wallu Vaalio: Hessu-kissan kissanpäivät
Hessu-kissa on seikkaillut Lastenmaa-lehdessä jo joulusta 1985 alkaen.
Voidaan siis puhua pienimuotoisesta lastensarjakuvaklassikosta!
Puupää-hatullakin palkittu taiteilija ja luokanopettaja Harri Wallu Vaalio aloitti sarjan piirtämisen, kun hänen silloiset tokaluokkalaisensa ilmestyivät eräänä kesäloma-aamuna hänen ovelleen ja toivat hänelle lahjaksi kissanpennun, jonka olivat jo nimenneet Hessuksi. Hessu on siis ihan oikea kissa.
Hiiri Pikkulakin asuu taiteilijan talossa, sillä usein iltaisin vintiltä tai jostain seinän raosta kuuluu rapinaa. Mutta Pikkulaa Wallu ei ole onnistunut koskaan näkemään, ja siksi hiiri ei olekaan piirroksissa ihan oikean hiiren näköinen.
Tämän Hessu-kirjan sarjakuvia ei ole aiemmin julkaistu kirjana.
Mutta nyt MIAU! eli iloisia lukuhetkiä!
Katie Cook & Elli Puukangas: Star Stable – Sielunratsastajat: Pimeyden laulu
Maaginen sarjakuvaseikkailu hevosten saarella!
Sielunratsastajat seikkailevat nyt suomalaistaiteilija Elli Puukankaan kuvittamassa sarjakuvakirjassa ja yrittävät kumota metsää kuihduttavan kirouksen.
Jorvikissa kasvaa muinaisia elämää varjelevia puita, joiden juuret ulottuvat saaren jokaiseen kolkkaan, mutta jokin on vialla.
Puista huokuu pimeyden laulu, ja Lisan, Annen, Alexin ja Lindan on selvitettävä, mistä oikein on kyse.
Koko elämän kiertokulku on uhattuna, mutta ehkäpä pieni lintu voi johdattaa Sielunratsastajat oikealle polulle ennen kuin on myöhäistä?
”Pimeyden laulu” -sarjakuvakirja sijoittuu aikaan kirjatrilogioiden jälkeen.
Mitä ystävyksille kuuluu ja mitä heillä on seuraavaksi edessään? Luvassa on ainakin jännitystä, vauhtia, mystiikkaa ja tietenkin paljon hevosia!
Star Stable on maailman nopeimmin kasvava hevosnettipeli, jossa ratsastetaan maagisiin seikkailuihin yhdessä ystävien kanssa: www.starstable.com
Edgar Rice Burroughs & Russ Manning: Tarzan – Paluu Opariin
Yksi suosituimmista Tarzan-kirjoista on Tarzan ja Oparin aarre.
Nyt julkaistavassa kirjassa seikkailu saa jatkoa, kun Tarzan ryöstetään Opariin. Tarzanin poika Korak lähtee etsimään isäänsä tarunhohteisesta, eristäytyneestä kaupungista, joka on täynnä rikkauksia.
Russ Manningia pidetään Tarzan-sarjakuvien taitavimpana piirtäjänä. Hän piirsi sarjaa 1967-1979 sekä sanoma- että sarjakuvalehtiin. Tämä albumi koostuu arkipäiväsarjoista vuosilta 1967-1969.
Tämän kirjan seikkailua ei ole julkaistu täydellisenä koskaan suomeksi.
Toimittanut Petri Aarnio.
Johanna Witick: Oravalaakson tarinat 2 – Maailman suurin käpy
Jättikäpy rikkoo Oravalaakson rauhan.
Ossi-oravan ja Titityy-linnun pähkähauska sarjakuvaseikkailu jatkuu.
Ossin ja Titityyn leppoisa elämä sateenkaarten koristamassa Oravalaaksossa saa yllättävän käänteen, kun heidän tielleen tipahtaa yllätys: maailman suurin käpy!
Toiset oravat muuttuvat kateudesta vihreiksi. Hekin haluavat palan jättimäisestä ihmeellisestä kävystä.
Siitä alkaa hillitön takaa-ajo, josta ei mutkia ja kaahausta puutu. Käpyä on suojeltava!
Humoristinen ja hihityttävä uusi sarja riemastuttaa ja houkuttelee lukemaan!
Vesa Vitikainen & MIkael Mäkinen: Sotakamreeri Reino Lehväslaiho
Sotakamreeri Reino Lehväslaiho (1922-2019) oli suomalaisen sotakirjallisuuden legenda.
Mutta sitä ennen hän oli talvisodan vapaaehtoinen sissi, panssarimies jatkosodassa ja todellinen sotasankari.
Lehväslaiho haavoittui kolme kertaa rintamalla ollessaan. Kerran talvisodassa ja kahdesti jatkosodassa.
Silti hän palasi riviin, lyöden vasten ylivoimaisen vihollisen rintamaa.
Palvellessaan panssarikenraali Ruben Laguksen joukoissa hän oli mukana kaikkein kovimmissa paikoissa, joissa vain panssareita ja panssarivaunumiehiä tarvittiin. Aina Lapin sotaan saakka.
Vaikka tiedettiin että panssarijoukoissa tappiot olivat suuret, oli näihin joukkoihin eniten pyrkijöitä. Vaikka miehet ja vaunut vaihtuivat, sota jatkui.
Tämä on totinen tarina sodasta, yksinäisyydestä ja uhrauksista, mutta myös toveruudesta ja selviytymisestä.

ENNAKKOTILAUKSET
Joannis Clementides: Tulijumala (ENNAKKOTILAUS)
ENNAKKOTILAUS.
ARVIOITU ILMESTYMISPÄIVÄ 18.3.2023.
Joannis Clementidesin kirjan nimisarjakuvanovellissa Tulijumala päähenkilö Jonny ja hänen samanniminen possunsa Jonny törmäävät vihollisiin ja avaruuden jumaliin.
Lisäksi kirjassa painiskellaan peliaddiktion kanssa sekä harrastetaan kungfua buddhalaisluostarissa.
Sarjakuvat ovat osin mielikuvitusta, mutta Clementides ottaa vaikutteita teoksiinsa myös historiasta, uskonnoista ja mytologioista.
Clementidesille taiteen tekeminen ei ole yhdentekevää: ”Taide merkitsee minulle paljon, se antaa elämälle tarkoituksen.”
Hei muuten on sarjakuvakirjojen sarja, joka kokoaa yhteen kahdeksan taiteilijan esikoissarjakuva-albumit.
Kirjat on tehty tuetuissa taidestudioissa eri puolilla Suomea: Helsingissä Aula-työkodin Studio Aulassa ja Autismisäätiön Vallilan taidestudiolla, Pieksämäellä Etelä-Savon hyvinvointialueen Taidepesulassa sekä Porvoossa Ateljee Eivorissa.
Hei muuten -julkaisusarja punoo umpeen kuilua, joka jättää erityistä tukea tarvitsevat taiteilijat sarjakuvakentän ulkopuolelle. Sarjan taiteilijat tuovat kaikki taide- ja kirjallisuuskeskusteluun jotain, mitä aiemmin ei olla nähty.
Taiteilijoiden työskentelyä on mentoroinut Miissa Rantanen, ja koko sarjan on mahdollistanut Koneen Säätiön tuki.
Rosa Haikarainen: Tuuli (ENNAKKOTILAUS)
ENNAKKOTILAUS.
ARVIOITU ILMESTYMISPÄIVÄ 18.3.2023.
Rosa Haikaraisen sarjakuvat ovat lyhyitä, runollisia ja rytmiltään rauhaisia.
Aiheita teoksiinsa Rosa poimii ympäriltään: hän piirtää ja maalaa pandemiasta, sodasta, Suomen historiasta ja auringosta.
Haikarainen kertoo kirjansa nimisarjakuvasta Tuuli: ”Rupesin miettimään Tuuli-tarinaa, kun oli surullinen olo. Ajattelin myrskyä ja tuulta. Tuli mieleen joku iso laiva, joku pitkä laiva.”

Anna-Stina Helander: Kukkia ja keppareita (ENNAKKOTILAUS)
ARVIOITU ILMESTYMISPÄIVÄ 18.3.2023.
Anna-Stina Helanderin sarjakuvateoksessa kukkien ja keppareiden seassa vuorottelevat koirat, perhoset ja ötökät. Kirjassa käydään myös sienessä ja kalassa.
Helander piirtää tusseilla ja puuväreillä.
Joskus värikkäät sarjakuvaruudut täyttyvä kokonaan elävällä, kuvituksenomaisella graafisella jäljellä kukista.
Toisinaan sommittelu on simppelimpi ja ruudun keskellä on vain keppihevonen. Helanderin kirjan eläinhahmot ovat useimmiten iloisia, mutta joskus myös myrtsejä tai väsyksissä.

Olli Kanninen: Cowboy Laukkaavan Kuoleman rötökset ja Kaatopaikka lammen pohjassa (ENNAKKOTILAUS)
ENNAKKOTILAUS.
ARVIOITU ILMESTYMISPÄIVÄ 18.3.2023.
Olli Kannisen sarjakuvateos jakaantuu kahteen tarinaan: Cowboy Laukkaavan kuoleman rötökset on western-sarjakuva täynnä räiskintää, varastelua, uhkapelaamista ja juopottelua Saluuna Kännikalassa.
Kaatopaikka lammen pohjassa taas on kantaaottava, tosielämään perustuva sarjakuva Kaatron kahdesta suonenjokelaisesta lammesta, joita ihmiset piittaamattomuuttaan tuhoavat.
Kanninen on runsas värien käyttäjä, ja hänen sarjakuvasivuissaan tapahtuu paljon; ne on sommiteltu täyteen. Kanninen kertoo, että taiteessa hänelle tärkeää on ”muiden sekä itseni arvostus artistina sekä omana itsenä”.

Maija Möttö: Rakkausretki (ENNAKKOTILAUS)
ENNAKKOTILAUS.
ARVIOITU ILMESTYMISPÄIVÄ 18.3.2023.
Maija Mötön Rakkausretki-teoksessa eläimet haisunäädistä kummituseläimiin ja bonobo-apinoihin kuvaavat ystävyyttä, kiintymystä ja läheisyyttä.
Joskus eläinhahmoille maistuu tupakka, ja joskus pökerrytään kärpässienistä. Kokonainen luku kirjassa on omistettu kuvaamaan rakkautta ruokaan.
Äiti opetti Maija Mötön piirtämään Aku Ankkoja, mutta Mötön sanojen mukaan ”sitten tuli mielikuvitus”.
Mötön sekatekniikassa tussiviiva, vahaliidut, akryylimusteet ja kuivapastellit vuorottelevat.

Riina Noro: Riemuloma (ENNAKKOTILAUS)
ENNAKKOTILAUS.
ARVIOITU ILMESTYMISPÄIVÄ 18.3.2023.
Riina Noron sarjakuvateos Riemuloma kertoo lomasta, joka ei ole normaali.
Sarjakuvassa matkaillaan niin huvipuistossa kuin kylpylässä ja ITE-taidepuistossakin, mutta tavanomaista turistia vaanii alituiseen kuolema, piraijat tai paholaisaurinko.
Esseetyyppisiin sarjakuviin sekoittuu Balkanin alueen kriisejä, isovihan aikaa, Estonian uppoamista ja suomalaista aluepolitiikkaa samalla kun androidi luukuttaa musaa, sukulaiset tappelevat kesähäissä ja Arvi Lind viettää kaksoiselämää.
Noro kuvaa omaa työskentelyään: ”Taiteen tekeminen merkitsee tutkimustyötä paperilla ja kiinnostuskohteiden esittämistä. Taiteen tekeminen opettaa minua salaa tästä maailmasta.”

Elias Pylvänäinen: Pekan elämää (ENNAKKOTILAUS)
ENNAKKOTILAUS.
ARVIOITU ILMESTYMISPÄIVÄ 18.3.2023.
Elias Pylvänäisen sarjakuvateoksen Pekan elämää sivuilta löytyy Pekka Puupää ja Duudsonit, mutta myös Justin Bieber ja Härski Hartikainen.
Pylvänäinen havainnoi sarjakuvassaan ympäröivää yhteiskuntaa kuvaamalla liikennettä ja infrastruktuuria: junia kiskoilla, mopoilijoita ruuhkassa, autoja, kellotauluja.
Joskus sarjakuvaruudun tapahtumiin sekoittuu hampurilaisketjun logo, joskus peukalo.
Elias Pylvänäinen piirsi aiemmin yksityiskohtaisia näkymiä arkipäiväisistä paikoista kuten uimahalleista ja rautatieasemista.
Nyttemmin Pylvänäisen kuvailmaisu on siirtynyt ekspressiivisempään suuntaan; hän hyödyntää piirustus- ja maalausvälineitä ennakkoluulottomasti.

ENNAKKOTILAUS.
ARVIOITU ILMESTYMISPÄIVÄ 18.3.2023.
Kenneth Walleniuksen sarjakuvateos Avaruusajatuksia on kokoelma sanattomia avaruusaiheisia kohtauksia.
Wallenius on piirtänyt sarjakuvaksi ajatuksiaan avaruusobservatoriosta, astronauteista, timanttilöydöksistä, kuuajelusta ja avaruuskissasta.
Wallenius on saanut vaikutteita Tintistä, Myrskylinnuista, Pentujengi avaruudessa -elokuvasta ja Olipa kerran avaruus -animaatiosarjasta.
Wallenius on piirtänyt sarjakuvan mustalla tussilla ja puuväreillä.
Wallenius luo uskottavasti perspektiiviä ja kuvaa tarkasti avaruuslaitteita herkällä viivalla. Walleniuksen sarjakuvan henkilöhahmot hymyilevät aina.

This edition collects the entire four volume collection of The Metabaron in one book for the first time.
The Techno Empire’s cruel reign and boundless ambition have the universe in a chokehold, but one obstacle remains before them: The Metabaron.
The Metabaron once single-handedly brought the Techno-Techno Empire to its knees.
In the chaos that followed, however, a new regime has taken hold, one that has seized control of the rare and vital fuel for intergalactic travel known as epiphyte.
As the Metabaron launches a counter-offensive, the Empire will send its most feared soldiers to defend the power they have amassed, even to the doors of the Metabunker itself.
To make matters even more dire, the Metabaron’s less than honorable son seeks to usurp the power of the father who abandoned him. Can the Metabaron withstand the many challenges before him and save the universe once more?
Born on the pages of Moebius and Jodorowsky’s legendary The Incal, the mighty Metabaron has been starring in his own spinoff stories since 1992.

One of the stars of this year’s highly anticipated action blockbuster takes aim at a shocking solo adventure in SUICIDE SQUAD MOST WANTED: DEADSHOT, from writer Brian Buccellato (THE FLASH) and artist Viktor Bogdanovic (BATMAN: ARKHAM KNIGHT) —a high-octane thriller that will blow you away!
SHOOT TO THRILL!
Floyd Lawton is the deadliest marksman in the world—but there are targets even the legendary mercenary known as Deadshot hasn’t been able to hit.

Now Deadshot’s on his most personal mission of all: he’s going to kill the parents who made him the man—and the murderer—he is today.
But Floyd’s far too valuable an asset to let loose, and the Suicide Squad will stop at nothing to put this lone gunman back in their arsenal—including threaten the one person he truly cares about. Deadshot’s about to learn the hard way that when it comes to weapons, there’s always a bigger gun…

BOOMERANG is a hardcore mercenary who thinks his mission to take down a Central American dictator is just another job-but trouble has a way of returning to him like one of his trademark weapons.
Alone behind enemy lines, can Boomerang make a comeback?
AMANDA WALLER may be a regular human, but she has perhaps the greatest ability of all: she understands how power works – and how to wield it.
That’s how she’s kept the Squad under control and become one of the best deprogrammers of brainwashed villains.
But when one of her subjects turns the tables on her, can she save the Squad from a killer who knows all their secrets?
