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.
New ideas are welcome and use of your own imagination is encouraged. The Center acts as the central hub for the Oulu Comics Festival and several other events. The Comics Gallery! at the Center is an open for all application based gallery space and it is located near the Valve Gallery and Northern Photographic Center’s gallery. The space has approximately 25000 visitors annually.
A comics archive is being collected at the Center where you can also buy local small press and other finnish comics organization’s publications. The Oulu Comics Center is managed by Oulu Comics Society, based in 1980.
