Tapiiri #2/1984
"Minä, Tapiiri" is a quietly unsettling short story from the 1984 Finnish fanzine Tapiiri #2, written and illustrated by Barbe in a stark, intimate style. A mysterious letter arrives under the door, leading to a series of increasingly disquieting moments as a girl appears from the letter’s contents—only to vanish again, leaving behind a trail of unease. The cover, by Mandryka, captures the story’s eerie tone with a single, haunting image.
A mysterious letter slips under the door, followed by a girl who emerges from it—only to vanish through the same entrance. The man who follows her back finds a new letter waiting, its contents revealing a chilling twist. The story unfolds with quiet dread, as the line between reality and the letter’s world begins to blur.
On 16 September 1942, the German submarine U-158 sinks the British cruise liner Lacinia, then follows orders to rescue the survivors. Amid the chaos of war, a hesitant lieutenant must confront his doubts as he becomes part of a mission that tests loyalty, duty, and the fragile line between enemy and humanity.
