Harri Hemo

Harri Hemo burst onto the Finnish comics scene in 1993, debuting in Myrkky spesiaali — the specialty offshoot of Egmont Kustannus's irreverent Myrkky universe — and went on to rack up 19 catalog appearances across that rowdy corner of Nordic comics through the turn of the millennium. A product of the Copper/Modern Age, this character thrived in the anarchic, anything-goes spirit that defined alternative and humor comics of the era, sharing pages with a wonderfully eccentric cast including Palle Runqvist, Pera Pervo, and the memorably named Myyntimies Mynttinen. If you're exploring the wilder, more satirical side of Finnish comics from the '90s, Harri Hemo is exactly the kind of cult figure worth tracking down.
