Moomin Book Six: The Complete Lars Jansson Comic Strip (Hardcover)

Experience the historic first volume to be both drawn and written by Lars Jansson!

After the multifaceted Tove Jansson retired from the daily grind of the newspaper comic strip, the reins were picked up by her younger brother, Lars. Despite not being a trained artist, Lars taught himself how to draw so that he could continue bringing the Moomin charm to millions of readers around the world. He wrote and drew the strip from 1961 to 1974, maintaining the seamless quality and gentle wit established by his sister.

The delightful and gentle skewering of life's foibles continues with such classic antics as Moomin becoming a vegetarian, a genie from a magic lamp delivering stolen diamonds, and a railway through Moominvalley turning into a wild roller coaster. Of course, no collection would be complete without the legendary hijinks involving international spies invading the valley. This volume marks a new era for the Moomin family while staying true to its whimsical roots.

A landmark collection that proves the Moomin spirit is truly a family affair—perfect for long-time fans and new readers alike!
