Linnavainio

From 2013 to 2024, Finnish publisher Musta Ritari kustannus released just three issues of Linnavainio, a compact, atmospheric series written and drawn entirely by Ville Makkonen. The series stands as a singular, self-contained vision in Nordic comics, its sparse run belying a rich, meticulously crafted world that rewards patient readers. Makkonen’s dual role as writer and artist gives the work a unified, personal voice, making it a notable artifact of Finnish independent comics.
