The Moomins, which is a collection of stories by author and artist Tove Jansson, who drew her first character of the set as a teen in the 1930s. Moomins are everywhere in Finland and are considered a national treasure.

Berserk is my favorite manga and probably favorite books ever. Part of me wishes that I was born in Japan. Maybe then I would be mangaka(manga author) as well? I can't even imagine how much work it takes to draw something like this:

Just drawing would be one thing but to think that the same person has to create a story as well is insane. No wonder that Miura(mangaka of Berserk) died before he could finish it. I am not into american comics and prefer manga. But for some reason I thought that comics are only created in america and manga in Japan. So it is nice to see something similar from Finland as well.
