MOOMIN: The Complete Lars Jansson Comic Strip – Lars Jansson

A comprehensive hardcover collection featuring the beloved Moomin daily comic strips created by Lars Jansson. Following his sister Tove Jansson’s step back from drawing the newspaper strip for the London Evening News in 1960, Lars seamlessly took over writing and illustrating the series, maintaining its whimsical charm, sharp social satire, and timeless appeal until 1975.

This volume gathers a rich sequence of adventures following Moomintroll, Moominmamma, Moominpappa, Snorkmaiden, Little My, and the eccentric inhabitants of Moominvalley. Lars Jansson’s strips combine gentle philosophy, satirical commentary on modern life, and playful comedy, as the Moomin family navigates unexpected visitors, grand expeditions, existential dilemmas, and domestic chaos while always retaining their signature warmth and hospitality.

Beautifully produced by Drawn and Quarterly, this edition is an essential addition for comic history enthusiasts, collectors, graphic novel readers, and lifelong fans of the Moomin universe. It offers an engaging and humorous reading experience that highlights Lars Jansson’s distinct contribution to one of the most celebrated comic strips in international literature.
