Palle Runqvist

Palle Runqvist is a Copper Age original who made their debut in the very first issue of Myrkky in 1989, brought to life by the creative team of Dick and Tommy under the Egmont Kustannus banner. Over a solid fourteen-year run spanning into the 2000s, Palle built up an impressive 104 catalogued appearances across Myrkky and Myrkky spesiaali, sharing those pages with a colorful cast including Pera Pervo, Puolikas, Kokonainen, Firkin, and Myyntimies Mynttinen. Six of those appearances carry key-issue status — a mark of genuine collector significance that speaks to the character's impact within this distinctive Finnish comics world. For fans digging into the rich, sometimes overlooked corners of European comics publishing, Palle Runqvist is exactly the kind of find that makes the hunt worthwhile.
