Myyntimies Mynttinen

Myyntimies Mynttinen is a Copper/Modern Age creation who made their debut in the pages of Myrkky #5 in 1991, going on to become one of the more enduring fixtures in Egmont Kustannus's Finnish comics landscape — racking up 107 catalog appearances across nearly two decades, right through to 2009. Home turf is firmly Myrkky and its companion title Myrkky spesiaali, where Mynttinen shares the page with a wonderfully offbeat cast including Firkin, Pera Pervo, Kokonainen, Puolikas, and Palle Runqvist — company that hints at the irreverent, anarchic flavor this corner of Finnish comics is known for. With at least one collector-significant key issue to their name and a run spanning 18 years, Myyntimies Mynttinen is exactly the kind of cult character that rewards digging into the back-issue bins.
