Kajaani – Der Verbannte der Kalevala #[nn]

Ville Ranta's delicate black-and-white linework sets the tone beautifully on this cover, depicting a snow-dusted Finnish town of timber buildings, church steeples, and bare winter trees rendered in an intimate, almost folk-art style. Published by Reprodukt in 2022, Kajaani – Der Verbannte der Kalevala promises a graphic novel steeped in the atmosphere of the legendary Finnish epic, the Kalevala. The quiet, wintry townscape feels both grounded and mythic — an intriguing invitation into whatever exile and folklore await within.
