Firkin

Firkin is a Copper/Modern Age creation who made their debut in the pages of Myrkky spesiaali in 1993, going on to rack up an impressive 107 catalog appearances across sixteen years in Egmont Kustannus's Myrkky and Myrkky spesiaali — a testament to a character who clearly found a devoted readership. Sharing their world with the likes of Myyntimies Mynttinen, Pera Pervo, and Palle Runqvist, Firkin inhabits a wonderfully distinctive corner of Finnish comics publishing that rewards curious collectors willing to venture beyond the English-language mainstream. With at least one key-issue appearance to their name, this is a character whose sixteen-year run speaks for itself — a genuine slice of Nordic comics culture well worth tracking down.
