Jarno Latva-Nikkola can rightly be called the great man of Finnish underground comics of the 2000s. His black humour-filled, blatantly funny comics always surprise readers, around the corner. Latva-Nikkola’s comics have their own twisted, relentless logic – they startle, frighten and finally make you laugh. Behind the strange reality created by the author lies pure, idealistic beauty. Jarno Markus’ Most Beautiful brings together the author’s comics and drawings from childhood to the present day. Latva-Nikkola’s drawings are crudely charismatic, liberated outbursts. At the same time, they have something profoundly Finnish about them – the smell of a furry hat, the laws of a deserted countryside and the stranglehold of everyday life. More than a third of Jarno Markus’s most beautiful material is unpublished.
