Staff Picks (June): Moomin and the Martians

Tove Jansson, the beloved cartoonist creator of Moomin and famed illustrator of several Finnish editions of classic books including The Hobbit, celebrated what would have been her 100th birthday last year! Countries around the world from—Finland to Japan—honored the creator and, to commemorate the event further, Drawn & Quarterly pulled out all of the stops with a Moomin Deluxe Anniversary Edition, collecting the complete comic strip along with original pencil sketches and other bonus materials!

This month, D&Q brings us the next exciting adventure in Moominvalley, Moomin and the Martians! Follow Moomin and his friends and family as they discover a Martian space-ship and, in normal Moomin fashion, weird things start to happen!

A beautifully remastered and recolored edition, this book is perfect for children and a perfect addition to any kid's library! Tove Jansson is one of the best and most globally recognized creators, and she has woven another adventure that, with its lovable cast of colorful characters, will delight everyone young and old and is a must-add to anyone's comic shelves!
