Kalevala
A stunning comic adaptation of the Finnish national epic Kalevala, which inspired J.R.R. Tolkien to write Silmarillion and Lord of the Rings.
This graphic novel tells the adventures and fates of wizard Väinämöinen, warrior Lemminkäinen, black-smith Ilmarinen and and several other larger-than-life characters looking for love, riches and magic in the far-away lands of the ancient North.
The world of Kalevala is lyrical, harsh and perfectly unique.

"The latest version of Kalevala presents the Finnish national epic from an entirely new perspective."
Seura Magazine, Finland
"Sami Makkonen doesn't just settle to illustrate a well-known story. The images of Kalevala have an initial force that seek to revitalize the national epic."
