Bøker av Sami Makkonen

A stunning comic adaptation of the Finnish national epic the Kalevala, which inspired J.R.R. Tolkien to write Silmarillion and Lord of the Rings. The story tells the adventures and fates of wizard Väinämöinen, warrior Lemminkäinen, black-smith Ilmarinen and other larger than-life-characters looking for love, riches and magic in the far-away lands of the ancient North. The world of Kalevala is lyrical, harsh and totally unique. The Kalevala graphic novel is masterfully adapted by Sami Makkonen, best known for his four volumes of the Eisner Award nominated Hatter M series, which has made the NY Times best-selling list. Makkonen has also received the Sarjas Award for Best Fantasy Comic and has been nominated for a number of other awards, including the Ghastly Awards for horror work.
