Herkko-Kerkko

Born in the pages of Myrkky in 1993, Herkko-Kerkko is a Copper/Modern Age creation from Egmont Kustannus with a distinctly Finnish comics pedigree. Over a decade-long run across Myrkky and Myrkky spesiaali, this character carved out a niche in a publication whose very name — "Poison" — hints at a sharp, irreverent edge. With 21 catalogued appearances and colorful company including the likes of Pera Pervo and Palle Runqvist, Herkko-Kerkko is a genuine piece of Finnish comics culture from an era when the medium was pushing boldly into new territory.
