Brand new NEMI collection, - in English!

Several years ago, Titan Books had the UK license to publish collections of Lise Myhre's Nemi strip in hardback books, translated from its native Norwegian into English. Four volumes in total were published, with the last being in 2010. 

The books have been published in Norwegian for a long time of course, and prove to be popular over there. Now, Gyldenal in Norway have published a new collection, and it's in English.

The format is exactly the same as the Titan Books editions, and it contains material not seen in those books. With 160 pages in total, it features many strips, plus various full page illustrations that Lise produced for the monthly Nemi comic. A fantastic package and very funny.

Titled Nemi: Sugar and Reptiles, the book is only available from the Norwegian publisher at this website:

You can even have your copy signed by Lise if you contact them first. (Details in the above link.)

Nemi began in 1997, and became a huge hit in Norway, making her creator a celebrity. (Comics have a lot of respect in Norway.) Described as "a mascot for outsiders and a friend to those who have none", Nemi is a much loved character with a wide appeal. The strip appears in various newspapers internationally, and ran in the UK's Metro daily for a few years. The monthly Nemi comic began earlier this century and continues to be popular in Scandinavia. It's a pity there's not a UK edition, but at least we now have this new book. A perfect Christmas present for a friend, or for yourselves!

I haven't seen Lise for a long time, but here's a photo from ten years ago when she invited me to the launch of Titan's second Nemi book which took place at the Norwegian Embassy in London!
