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.
In "Pelastava Ratsastus—Osa yksi," Barbie, Ken, and Skipper arrive at a riding competition, where Skipper's nerves clash with Julie Keaton’s calm confidence. As Julie shares her pony to help Skipper ride her favorite horse, Lumi, the quiet moments between the riders hint at growing friendships and subtle rivalries ahead.
In this charming 1988 tale from Barbie #1, Skipper takes it upon herself to care for a scruffy group of stray cats, much to the worry of her guardians, John and Jean. Among them is Tupsukorva, a cat with a notably fluffy tail, whose presence adds a quiet, tender spark to Skipper’s determined efforts.
