KOTIMAISET UUTUUDET
Sari Sariola: Tiedän olevani ylipainoinen
Millaista on elää maailmassa, jossa kaikki on liian pientä?
Ylipainoiset ihmiset ovat yksi harvoista ihmisryhmistä, joiden loukkaaminen on yhteiskunnassamme edelleen normaalia ja sosiaalisesti hyväksyttävää. Maailmassa, joka suhtautuu laihuuteen yhä pakkomielteisemmin, lihavat ihmiset nähdään epäonnistuneina hylkiöinä, joille on luvallista nauraa ja julmintakin syrjintää puolustellaan kansanterveydellisillä syillä.
Sari Sariola on ylipainoinen, ja hän tietää sen ilman että koko maailman täytyy siitä joka käänteessä muistuttaa. Tässä albumissa hän kertoo realismin ja fantasian keinoin, millaista on kantaa ”läskibakteeria”, joka saa ihmiset väistämään kadulla ja lääkärit jättämään työnsä tekemättä. Konstailematta hän puhuu elämästään osana tätä näkymätöntä kansanryhmää, ja millaista esterataa elämä välillä on, kun ihmisarvoa mitataan painoindeksillä.
Voimaannuttava sarjakuva avaa myös ikkunan maailmaan, jossa ihminen voidaan kohdata ihmisenä, kehon muodoista riippumatta.
Sari Sariola (s. 1979) on turkulainen sarjakuvataiteilija ja kuvittaja. Tiedän olevani ylipainoinen on hänen esikoisalbuminsa. Luettuaan sarjakuvia ja pohdittuaan asiaa koko ikänsä, otti Sariola lopulta kynän käteensä ja alkoi töihin. Apuna projektissa oli epätraditionaalinen perhe, johon kuuluu aikuisia, huonekasveja ja niin monta lemmikkiä ettei kukaan pysy laskuissa.
Carl Barks: Carl Barksin Aku Ankka 1
Carl Barks on kaikkien aikojen rakastetuin Aku Ankka -taiteilija, ja hänen ikivihreät sarjakuvaseikkailunsa huvittavat ja viihdyttävät aina uusia lukijasukupolvia kekseliäisyydellään ja vauhdikkaalla kuvituksellaan.
Barksin kaikki ankkasarjakuvat julkaistaan nyt suomeksi alkuperäisessä ilmestymisjärjestyksessä tyylikkäänä albumisarjana, jonka pariin lukija palaa aina uudelleen ja uudelleen.
Sarjan avaa klassinen tarina “Ryytimaa”, joka on ensimmäinen Barksin itse kirjoittama ja piirtämä ankkaseikkailu.
Akun puutarha kärsii varisten iskuista, ja veljenpojat päättävät auttaa setää hankkimalla tälle näkymättömiä siemeniä.
“Oikukas onnenkalu” koettelee Akun uskoa jäniksenkäpälän taikavoimiin, ja tarinassa “Rantavahti” Aku joutuu nokikkain uimarantaa terrorisoivan haikalan kanssa.
P.A. Manninen: Kapteeni Kuolio ja maailmojen sota Viinikassa
Ihmeellisen helposti tunnistettavia tunnistamattomia lentäviä esineitä liikkuu Tampereen keskustan eteläpuolella.
Kapteeni Kuolio joutuu keskelle vakavaa ufoabduktiota, mutta onneksi hänen supersankaritoverinsa Kapteeni Kökkö tietää lentävistä lautasista yhtä ja toista.
Matka vie Järvensivulta Viinikkaan, Nekalaan ja Koivistonkylään ja sankarit joutuvat kohtaamaan miehiä mustissa, Tampereen Area 51:n ja ilmataistelun futuristisin asein. Lisäksi Ajattara on erittäin vihainen.
Albumi perustuu tositapahtumiin ja se on kuvattu aidoilla tapahtumapaikoilla.
Morris: Lucky Luke 1 – Dick Diggerin kultakaivos
Maurice De Bevere eli Morris loi tunnetuimman sarjakuvahahmonsa Lucky Luken vuonna 1946.
Lännensankarin ensiesiintyminen albumiformaatissa tapahtui vuonna 1949, kun alun perin keväällä 1947 ilmestyneet tarinat Dick Diggerin kultakaivos ja Kaksoisolento julkaistiin koottuna laitoksena.
Lucky Luken ensiaskeleet ovat taattua alkuvoimaisen anarkistista lännenhuumoria, jossa toiminnan mies kohtaa bandiitit ja vihamieliset intiaanit luodit ja nyrkit viuhuen.
Tämän albumin sivuilla Lucky Luken ja Jolly Jumperin hahmot hakevat vielä lopullisia muotojaan, mikä tekee näistä seikkailuista äärimmäisen mielenkiintoisia ja jopa yllättäviä.
Tällä albumilla on tärkeä sija eurooppalaisen sarjakuvan historiassa ja se on pakollista tutkittavaa kaikille sarjakuvallisen ilmaisun ystäville.
Pehmeäkantinen painos loppuunmyydystä järkäleestä!
Praedor on Petri Hiltusen piirtämä sarjakuva, joka sijoittuu Jaconian fantasiamaailmaan.
Praedorit ovat sotureita, jotka etsivät aarteita hirviöiden kansoittamilta alueilta, Borvariasta. Tarinat ovat miekka ja magia -tyylin fantasiaa. Praedorista on tehty sarjakuvien lisäksi mm. roolipeli, novellikokoelmia, romaaneja, musiikkia sekä oheistuotteita.
Ensimmäinen Praedor-sarjakuva ilmestyi v. 1985 Conan-lehdessä.
Ville Vuorelan suunnittelema roolipeli julkaistiin v. 2000, ja se myi suomalaiseksi roolipeliksi suunnattomia määriä. Roolipelin toinen laitos ilmestyi kaksi vuotta sitten.
Praedor-sarjakuvia on julkaistu mm. Tähtivaeltaja-, Magus- ja Jysäys-lehdissä sekä omina albumeinaan.
Tätä nykyä suurinta osaa niistä on vaikeaa saada käsiinsä. Tämä kirja korjaa tilanteen.
Tämä Praedor-kokoelma kokoaa yksiin kansiin KAIKKI Praedor-sarjakuvat 80-luvun puolivälistä lähtien. Sivut on skannattu originaaleista ja mahdollisimman hyvin restauroitu.
Mukana on sekä Petri Hiltusen että Ville Vuorelan kirjaa varten kirjoittamat muistelot siitä, kuinka kaikki alkoi.
60-sivuisessa ekstraosiossa mukana on mm. julkaisemattomia sarjakuvasivuja sekä värillinen osio Petri Hiltusen kansimaalauksista ja muista Praedor-kuvituksista.
Praedor-kirja on massiivisin suomalaisen tekijän kokoelmateos ja olennainen osa kotimaista sarjakuvahistoriaa.
Mauro Boselli & Enrique Breccia: Tex Willer Värialbumi 3 – Snakeman
Navajokansaa uhkaa vakava vaara, kun uteintiaanien johtoon noussut mystinen shamaani Snakeman lietsoo joukkonsa veriselle sotaretkelle.
Navajoiden päällikkö Yön Kotka alias Tex Willer suistuu kivivyöryssä syvään rotkoon, jolloin viattomien puolustaminen ja syyllisten rankaiseminen jäävät Tiger Jackin ja Texin pojan Kitin varaan.
Pahaa magiaa säkenöivä Käärmeiden Herra vaikuttaa voittamattomalta vastustajalta, kunnes hätiin ilmestyy veret seisauttava Kuoleman Mies!
Albumin on kuvittanut ja värittänyt persoonalliseen tyyliinsä argentiinalainen piirtäjämestari Enrique Breccia. Dramaattisesta tarinasta vastaa Tex Willerin ykköskirjoittaja Mauro Boselli.
Värialbumi on uusin Tex Willer -sarja, joka on sarjakuva-albumikokoinen ja nelivärinen.
Olivier Gay & Fabrice Tarrin: Asterix ja Obelix – Lohikäärmeen valtakunta
Julius Caesar on päättänyt, että Rooman valtakuntaa pitää laajentaa. Hänestä on tuleva Kiinan keisari!
Niinpä legioonalaiset marssivat itään, kohti kaukaista valtakuntaa. Pystyvätkö Asterix ja Obelix estämään Caesarin aikeet?
Luvassa on kaikkien aikojen seikkailu!
Uusi Asterix-elokuva Astérix et Obélix: l’Empire du Milieu saapuu teattereihin helmikuussa 2023 ja se vie gallialaisen sankarin ystävineen ensimmäistä kertaa myyttiseen Kiinaan.
Jännittävä ja hauska tarina on täysin alkuperäinen, ja Story House Egmont julkaisee sen pohjalta laaditun upean piirrosalbumin yhtä aikaa elokuvan kanssa.
Lise Myhre: Nemi 46 – Onni onnettomuudessa
Sanavalmis goottityttö kertoo mielipiteensä maailman menosta, populaarikulttuurista ja arkipäivän sattumuksista.
Uusia sarjakuvia sisältävä albumi on viihdyttävää ja ajatuksia herättävää luettavaa niin vanhoille kuin uusillekin Nemi-faneille.

Alex Raymond: Rip Kirby 1954-1956
Rip Kirbyn tarina jatkuu kuuden seikkailun verran
Herrasmiessalapoliisi Rip Kirby seikkaili 50 vuoden ajan, 1949-1999, Helsingin Sanomissa, joka julkaisi kaikki sarjat kahteen kertaan. Sarja oli lehden suosituimpia sarjakuvia.
Rip Kirbyä on julkaistu kronologisesti albumeina vuoteen 1954 asti Kustannus Jalavan ja HS-kirjojen toimesta.
Tämä ennen julkaisematon kokoelma on jatkoa näille albumeille. Se sisältää 6 seikkailua vuosilta 1954-1956.
Alex Raymondia (1909-1956) pidetään maailman parhaana sanomalehdissä julkaistujen seikkailusarjakuvien piirtäjänä.
Hänen sarjojaan ovat Salainen agentti X-9, Viidakko Jim, Flash Gordon ja Rip Kirby.
Raymondin kuoleman jälkeen Rip Kirbyn piirtämistä jatkoi suosittu ja arvostettu John Prentice (1920-1999).
ENNAKKOTILAUKSET
Petteri Tikkanen: Eero – Rakkauden vuoksi (ENNAKKOTILAUS)
ENNAKKOTILAUS. ARVIOITU ILMESTYMISPÄIVÄ 20.3.2023.
Rakkauden vuoksi kertoo Eeron matkan lapsuudesta armeijaikään.
Paras ystävä Kanerva kehittyy nopeammin, ja tämä tuottaa Eerolle päänvaivaa. Miehen mallia tarjoavat sotatraumoista kärsivä ukki sekä hiljakseen pahenevan päihdeongelman kanssa kamppaileva isä.
Pojan täytyy oppia selviämään, mutta elämä ei ole krapula, muistuttaa äiti.
Petteri Tikkanen kuvaa nuoren pojan seksuaalista heräämistä ja itsensä etsimistä herkällä vaistolla ja varmalla viivalla.
Tikkasen visuaalinen ilmaisuvoima on huima ja vähäisen dialogin merkitys korostuu. Eeron tarina on sarjakuvakerronnan juhlaa, nautinto lukijalle!
Rakkauden vuoksi -kirjan ensimmäinen luku on palkittu Sarjakuva-Finlandialla vuonna 2009.
Vicar: Aku Ankka – Avaruusankkojen paluu (ENNAKKOTILAUS)
ENNAKKOTILAUS. ARVIOITU ILMESTYMISPÄIVÄ 17.5.2023.
Chileläinen Vicar (1934-2012) on yksi pidetyimpiä ja arvostetuimpia Aku Ankka -sarjakuvien piirtäjiä, ja hänen vauhdikkaita, huolellisesti kuvitettuja tarinoitaan on julkaistu Suomessakin jo 70-luvulta alkaen.
Tämä muhkea kirja kokoaa rakastetun mestarin parhaita tarinoita yksiin kansiin.
Pitkän uransa aikana Vicar ehti laatia jatkoa monille Carl Barksin klassikkotarinoille – kokoelman nimikertomus “Avaruusankkojen paluu” tutustuttaa Akun ja kumppanit jälleen piskuisiin avaruusmuukalaisiin. Kultu Kimallus puolestaan palaa kuvioihin kertomuksessa “Alaskan öljylöytö”, ja “MacAaveen linna” vie Roopen takaisin Skotlannin maisemiin.

Fungirl is a hapless (hopeless) hot mess of a woman crashing through life, leaving chaos in her wake.
Although her oblivious antics infuriate her roommate, terrify the teenage skaters she tries to impress, and threaten her every opportunity for employment, Fungirl remains charming, transgressive, and hilarious.

This comic strip spawned several reprint books and inspired games, postcards, copycat comic strips, and got readers to start ridiculing the “foolish questions” in their own lives.
Also included is a brain-scrambling assortment of the other panels from his daily comics series that originated the wise-cracking Foolish Questions classic.
Most are printed for the first time in over 100 years.

George Herriman: Krazy & Ignatz 1925-1927
This Eisner Award-nominated series showcases one of the most renowned and celebrated comic strips in the art form’s history as it strides boldly through the mid-1920s, its quirky characters in full flower in this gorgeous, archival hardcover collection.
In this volume: Ignatz repeatedly sets elaborate traps for Krazy (long before the Road Runner), adventures on the “enchanted mesa,” wacky weather, literal cliffhangers — and what happens when Santa and the stork arrive at the same chimney at the same moment?
BONUS: The most complete collection of Herriman’s long-lost Book of Magic pages ever assembled.
With incisive essays by Herriman scholars, this entry in our ongoing series makes it plain to Herriman fans and newcomers alike why historians, scholars, and cartoonists consider this to be the best comic strip ever created and why The Comics Journal proclaimed it to be “the greatest comic strip of the 20th Century.”
Krazy Kat is an ongoing story of a (head-) achingly unrequited love triangle.
Krazy adores Ignatz, who returns that affection by launching literal bricks at Krazy’s cranium.
Offisa Pup loves Krazy and seeks to protect “her” (Herriman always maintained that Krazy is genderless) by tossing Ignatz in the pokey.
With this deceptively simple structure, Herriman builds entire worlds of meaning into the actions, building thematic depth and sweeping his readers up with the looping verbal and visual rhythms of his characters’ unique dialogue and his loopy, ever-shifting surrealistic backgrounds.
Introducing our first volume of CLASSIC HORROR COMICS – where we’ve unearthed some right little horrors!

Deep in the Pacific Ocean, at the farthest possible distance from any land, sits Point Nemo: the spaceship graveyard.

The crew of the experimental submarine Andromeda, powered by a mysterious black-hole drive, have been chosen to investigate this mystery. But they aren’t the only ones pursuing it.

It was January 1947 that the first real, indisputable horror comic came along – EERIE COMICS #1, published by Avon.
It had a striking cover that was, well… eerie, depicting a strange-looking man with a knife on the steps of some sort of ruin, approaching a bound woman – a theme that was to be repeated countless times in the future . . .

Pole numero 4 tarjosi sarjakuvantekijöille suomalaisittain harvinaislaatuisen mahdollisuuden käyttää värejä. Yhteensä 21 tekijää tarttui tähän mahdollisuuteen ja loi yhdessä Suomen ensimmäisen pelkästään värillisiä sarjakuvia sisältävän omakustannejulkaisun.
Sarjakuvien tyylit vaihtelevat fantasiasta omaelämäkerrallisuuteen, kakkahuumorista kunnianosoituksiin ja lähes mustavalkoisesta todelliseen kirkkaiden värien tykitykseen. Tekijöiden mielikuvitusta ei ole edes yritetty kahlita minkäänmoisella teemalla, vaan kaikki ovat tehneet juuri sitä mitä haluavat. Tämä on todellista 2000-luvun pulp-sarjakuvaa. Kun tuo painopaperi ei vain olisi niin kertakaikkisen hyvää.

Steven on poika, joka aina sanoo ‘EI’.
Hän ei koskaan kasva isoksi eikä koskaan käy koulussa. Hän on täysipäiväinen sarjakuvahahmo.
Doug Allenin Steven saattaa hyvinkin olla maailman vihaisin sarjakuva. Sen anarkistisessa maailmassa annetaan kyytiä kaikille sarjakuvan perinteille, pienet pojat kiroilevat ja juopottelevat, söpöt sivuhahmot saavat maistaa haulikkoa, eikä kukaan ole turvassa.

Robert Crumb & David Zane Mairowitz: Introducing Kafka (K)
KÄYTETTY.
Selässä taitos lukemisesta.
“What do I have in common with the Jews? I don’t even have anything in common with myself.”
Nothing could better express the essence of Franz Kafka, a man described by his friends as living behind a “glass wall.”
Kafka wrote in the tradition of the great Yiddish storytellers, whose stock-in-trade was bizarre fantasy tainted with hilarity and self-abasement.
What he added to this tradition was an almost unbearably expanded consciousness.
Alienated from his roots, his family, his surroundings, and primarily from his own body, Kafka created a unique literary language in which to hide away, transforming himself into a cockroach, an ape, a dog, a mole or a circus artiste who starves himself to death in front of admiring crowds.
David Zane Mairowitz’s brilliant text and the illustrations and comic panels of the world’s greatest cartoonist, Robert Crumb (himself no stranger to self-loathing and alienation), help us to understand the essence of Kafka and provide insight beyond the cliche “Kafkaesque,” peering through Kafka’s glass wall like no other book before it.

Jukka-Pekka Anttila (s. 1971) on itseoppinut suodenniemeläinen kuvataiteilija. Tämä herkän humoristinen sarjakuvaruno on Anttilan esikoisteos.

Ralf König: Vapautunut mies (K)
KÄYTETTY.
Etukannessa pari taitosta. Sisäkannessa pieni ex libris.
Axel on hieman epävarma mies, joka haluaisi “vapautua”. Tyttöystävänsä Doron kanssa kokemansa ongelmat hän uskoo ratkaisevansa hyvinlavastetulla itsemurhayrityksellä.
Axel yrittää saada otteen itsestään “miesryhmässään”. Siellä hän tutustuu myös Walteriin eli Waltraudiin, joka pitää esitelmän homona olemisesta. Ja sitten… jne.
Tietenkin lopussa kaikki on hyvin! Mutta ei paljasteta tässä kaikkea!

Bob Callahan (editor): The New Comics Anthology (K)
Ekalla sivulla edellisen omistajan nimi.
From the pulp ashes of old comic strips and the burning pyres of sixties idealism, a new school of comics has emerged on the landscape of contemporary culture.
Tough, twisted and intellectual, the New Comics Anthology celebrates the best of avant-garde and post-modern graphic literature from around the world.
Featuring the work of Art Spiegelman, Robert Crumb, Harvey Pekar, the Hernandez Brothers, Matt Groening and Lynda Barry – as well as 75 other contemporary artists (with twenty stories appearing in English for the first time) – the New Comics Anthology combines stark realism with outrageous fantasy, dark politics with wholesome irreverence, and biting satire with humane and poignant drama.
What was once the domain of superheroes and all-American families has become the haunt of existential rabbits and midget detectives.
And what was once an artist’s diversion has become a genuine art form intended for a grown-up reading audience.
