Hellä

Hellä made her entrance in the pages of Myrkky #1 in 1997, part of a late-'90s wave of comics published by Egmont Kustannus that brought a distinctly Finnish flavor to the Copper/Modern Age. Her world is a lively one — she shares those pages with a colorful cast including Pera Pervo, Hermo, Firkin, Myyntimies Mynttinen, and Ramon, suggesting Myrkky was a richly populated anthology with real personality to spare. With five catalog appearances across a run that stretched into 1999, Hellä may be a compact presence, but she's a genuine piece of Finnish comics history worth seeking out for collectors with a taste for the offbeat and the overlooked.
