Barbie #1
"Valokuvamalli" in Barbie #1 (1988) delivers a thoughtful two-page spread titled “Ole huolissasi eläimistä!” (“Be Concerned About Animals!”), spotlighting urgent environmental issues like endangered species, pollution, hunting, and animal cruelty. With illustrations of a panda, a hawk in flight, and a factory spewing smoke, the feature raises awareness about extinction, invasive species, and the ethics of animal testing, concluding with contact details for WWF Finland and the Finnish Animal Welfare League. The interior is typeset, and the cover by an unnamed artist features Barbie in a fashion-forward pose.
