Hermo

Hermo made their comics debut in 1997 within the pages of Myrkky, a Finnish publication from Egmont Kustannus that ran through the late 1990s — a compact but characterful corner of the Modern Age. With only a handful of catalog appearances, Hermo is a rare find, sharing those pages with a wonderfully offbeat cast including Pera Pervo, Firkin, Hellä, Myyntimies Mynttinen, and Ramon — company that hints at a publication with plenty of personality to spare. For collectors with a taste for the overlooked gems of European comics, Hermo and the world of Myrkky offer a genuinely distinctive slice of late-'90s Finnish comics culture worth seeking out.
