The result of nine yearswork, Matti Hagelberg’s Läskimooses is an epic tome. In this carefully crafted collection of three volumes of comics, every millimetre works. The slipcase, with its lively colour gradient and surprising typography, holds within it a cosmic universe in black and white. The covers and the elegant numbering on the spines surprise and delight. The light-blue volumes are a masterwork of graphic design – precious objects whose details are well-considered and beautiful.
