Kaisa's comic books are a series of albums that vary in format, name
and approach, but have one thing in common: the theme of spiritual
searching and (possible) growth.
Kaisa has published four comic books so far: Kaisan lehti, Kaisa's
zine 2, Kaisa's Komiks 3 and Kaisa's foot 4. The formats vary from
a 12-page copied zine made during a one-week comics course to a silkscreened
poster magazine that is currently unavailable due to the fact that
most of the zines were destroyed in a spring-cleaning.
The largest of Kaisa's efforts is Kaisa's Komiks 3, a 64-page comic
album. Kaisa worked on the album for nearly a year, and during the
course of that year some parts of it were published in a Finnish magazine
for students. The print run was 500.
The magazine contains a monologue about Kaisa's chosen spiritual path
as well as one-page comics about the world surrounding her. Kaisa
was fascinated by the fact that the conservative one-page format minimizes
the need for drawings and texts that aren't absolutely necessary in
getting to the point. The monologue was added as a special feature
to the book to offer something more than rambling thoughts about the
modern western society.
Kaisa's style of drawing is simple with strong black lines. Her characters
whom everyone immediately recognices as variations of their more famous
cousin gives a special effect to the comics, turning the epitome of
western comsumerism against itself.
Kaisa's Komiks 3 is available for $ 5/5 € (includes postage and
packaging). The product code is KK-3. Please see the Ordering page
for more specific instructions.
