Description

The Moomin Book One: The Complete Tove Jansson Comic Strip is a timeless collection of comic strips that introduced adult readers to the wonderful world of Moomin. First published in the London Evening News in 1954, this strip was syndicated in newspapers around the world, reaching millions of readers in forty countries.

Drawn & Quarterly Publications is proud to reprint the entire strip drawn by Tove Jansson, the first time it will be published in North America. This edition features Jansson's pared-down and precise art, which composes beautiful portraits of ambling creatures in fields of flowers or on rock-strewn beaches, showcasing her Nordic roots.

The Moomins are a tight-knit family of hippo-shaped creatures with easygoing and adventurous outlooks. Jansson's observations of everyday life, including guests who overstay their welcome, modern art, movie stars, and high society, are both whimsical and biting, making this comic strip a worthwhile read for anyone interested in Jansson's unique perspective.
