Maija Mehiläinen

In the late 1980s, Sanoma published Maija Mehiläinen, a Finnish comic series spanning 120 issues that follows the everyday adventures of a young bee and her friends in a vibrant insect world. The series, which ran from 1986 to 1990, is notable for its charming, child-friendly storytelling and its role in introducing many young Finnish readers to the comic medium. While the specific creative team isn't detailed here, the series stands as a beloved, long-running example of Finnish children's comics from that era.
