About the series
In the mid-1970s, Finnish publisher WSOY released Punanahka, a six-issue comic series that offered a distinct, Nordic take on the Western genre. The title, meaning "Redskin," reflects its era's straightforward approach to frontier narratives, though the series is remembered today more as a curious artifact of Finnish comics publishing than for any singular creator or lasting influence. Its brief run from 1975 to 1977 captures a moment when European publishers were experimenting with homegrown takes on American mythologies.
