Aimo

Emerging from the pages of Myrkky in 1997, Aimo is a product of the Finnish comics scene at its most creatively adventurous — a Modern Age character published by Egmont Kustannus whose 38 catalogued appearances across a handful of years place them firmly in a wonderfully offbeat corner of European comics. Myrkky was a Finnish anthology with genuine underground spirit, and Aimo shares its pages with a gloriously eclectic cast that includes Firkin, Eino, Myyntimies Mynttinen, Pera Pervo, and Phenomenomix — company that hints at the irreverent, anything-goes energy of the series. For collectors with a taste for the broader world of comics beyond the American mainstream, Aimo is a genuine discovery worth tracking down.
