Keripukki

Keripukki burst onto the pages of the Finnish underground-flavored anthology Myrkky in 1992, brought to life by creator Alf Woxnerud in what would prove to be a compact but memorable run through the mid-nineties. Published by Egmont Kustannus, this Copper/Modern Age oddity shares its anarchic world with a wonderfully eccentric cast — including the likes of Joulupukki, Pera Pervo, and Palle Runqvist — suggesting a comics universe with a distinctly irreverent Finnish sensibility. With appearances spread across both Myrkky and Myrkky spesiaali, Keripukki is a rare find for collectors with a taste for the offbeat corners of European comics history.
