Moomin: The Complete Lars Jansson Comic Strip, Volume 10 welcomes
readers back to the beloved world of Moominvalley, where pancakes
and jam are a perfectly acceptable supper and wealthy aunts can be
altogether too fierce to handle. The tenth volume of Tove and Lars
Jansson's classic comic strip features the macabre and hilarious
Moomin and the Vampire and The Underdeveloped Moomins story.
Together, the four stories in this collection display the
poignancy, whimsy, and philosophical bent that constitute the
Moomins' enduring appeal.
Since the first Moomin comic strip appeared in the London Evening
News, Tove Jansson s creations have become an international
sensation, inspiring TV shows, cafes, a museum, an opera, and even
an amusement park. And now in this new deluxe anniversary edition
are hundreds of pages of Moomin comics, starring Moominmamma,
Snorkmaiden, Sniff, Mrs. Fillyjonk, and many more familiar faces.
Collected in this volume are the comics created by Lars Jansson,
when his sister, Tove, grew tired of drawing a daily strip after
half a decade. Her brother Lars had long been involved in the
creation of the Moomin strips he translated them into English for
publication. Though he had little knowledge of drawing, Lars took
over the daily comic strip. Tove taught him, and after two years of
sibling collaboration, Lars authored the strips independently for
fourteen years. By the mid-1970s, when the strip was at its height
of popularity, the tales of Moominvalley were being syndicated in
forty papers worldwide, just as absorbing to adult readers as they
were to children. Even today, the stories remain uniquely resonant
with readers for more than just their quirky, outlandish
appearances. With silly humour, the Moominvalley characters
emphasize the importance of community and respecting one s
environment to readers young and old. Moomin: The Deluxe
Anniversary Edition collects Lars Jansson s contributions to the
series alongside rare ephemera and tributes by cartoonists and
writers. Sumptuously designed, it is a must for any fan of
Moominvalley.

The first volume to be drawn and written by Lars Jansson
After the multifaceted Tove Jansson quit the daily grind of the
newspaper comic strip, the reins were picked up by her younger
brother, Lars, who-not being an artist-taught himself how to draw
so that he could continue bringing the Moomin charm to millions of
readers around the world. He wrote and drew the strip from 1961 to
1974. Without missing a beat, the transition from Tove to Lars was
seamless. The delightful and gentle skewering of life's foibles
continued with such antics as Moomin becoming a vegetarian; the
genie from a magic lamp bringing stolen diamonds; a railway through
Moominvalley turning into a roller coaster, and, of course, hijinks
with international spies invading Moominvalley.
Get shipwrecked with Moomin on an abandoned island in the eighth
volume of the beloved "Moomin" hardcover series
Lars Jansson returns with the eighth volume of the classic Moomin
hardcover comic series, and the whole gang is back in action. Sniff
is causing trouble with another of his get-rich-quick schemes,
Moominmaiden falls in love with the inspector's bad-boy nephew, and
Moominmamma is offering up plum cake to whosoever should need it.
As always, the experiences of the Moomin family are poignant,
melancholy, and strangely wise, with just a dash of the drolly
funny and a pinch of slapstick. Without a doubt, Jansson's "Moomin
Book Eight" is a treat for the whole family.
