Sokeri-Sakari

From 1987 onward, the Finnish publisher Jalava released Sokeri-Sakari, a singular comic by writer-artist Joakim Pirinen, with additional scripting from Jukka Heiskanen. This single-issue series introduced Pirinen’s distinctive, offbeat voice to Finnish comics—a surreal, darkly humorous debut that would mark the beginning of a long-running cult presence.
