Bienvenidos al fascinante mundo imaginario del Valle de los Mumin, donde es imposible no enamorarse de inmediato de sus habitantes: tiernos soñadores, maquinadores irascibles, y creativos y curiosos, siempre en busca de amor, fama y fortuna.
Si este no es el mejor cómic infantil de todos los tiempos, se le parece mucho.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The enchanting comic strip that introduced adult readers to the wonderful world of Moomin.
Tove Jansson is revered around the world as one of the foremost children's authors of the twentieth century for her illustrated chapter books regarding the magical worlds of her creation, the Moomins. The Moomins saw life in many forms but debuted to its biggest audience ever on the pages of the world's largest newspaper, the London Evening News, in 1954. The strip was syndicated in newspapers around the world with millions of readers in 40 countries.
The Moomins are a tight-knit family-hippo-shaped creatures with easygoing and adventurous outlooks. Jansson's art is pared down and precise, yet able to compose beautiful portraits of ambling creatures in fields of flowers or on rock-strewn beaches that recall Jansson's Nordic roots.
The comic strip reached out to adults with its gentle and droll sense of humor. Whimsical but with biting undertones, Jansson's observations of everyday life, including guests who overstay their welcome, modern art, movie stars, and high society, easily caught the attention of an international audience and still resonate today.
