About the series
Timo Mäkelä’s Kalliokadun blues is a single-issue Finnish comic from Otava, launched in 1997 and continuing as an ongoing series. Written and drawn entirely by Mäkelä, it captures the gritty, melancholic pulse of Helsinki’s Kallio district through its blues-infused storytelling. This series matters as a sustained, personal vision of urban life, blending stark realism with a raw, atmospheric art style that has defined Mäkelä’s career.
