    Esa Holopaisen teoksessa Jere Kostamus ja Big Niitty (Musta Ritari, 2024) Komisario Jere Kostamuksen tutkimukset jatkuvat. Pellot niityt, purot ja suot voivat peittää alleen salaisuuksia. Mutta voivatko ne piilottaa murhaajan? Kun Markkulan metsistä löytyy vainaja, kutsutaan tapausta selvittämään komisario Jere Kostamus, apunaan etsivä Vähämäki. Jere Kostamus -sarja sisältää sarkastisen leppoisaa huumoria, vaarallisia tilanteita ja kauniita maisemia.

    Näyttelyn avajaisia vietetään lauantaina 25.4.2026 klo 15-16. Tervetuloa!

The Oulu Comics Center has panels for every day to look, to read, to borrow, to buy and to draw. In the Comics Library, Sarjasto, you can experience panel filled moments and marvel on the spot or borrow and take home. Street art brings a riot of colors to the streets and fairways. The Oulu Comics Festival fills the city with panels once again in this year. The festival is the largest annual comics event in the arctic region. The capital of Northern Comics is a lively and inspiring meeting place in the field of comics culture. This site offers a lot of information about Oulu region’s, northern Finland’s and Arctic region’s comics.
