The Moomin books you list are *not* comics; they are a series of traditional novels with illustrations sprinkled throughout the story. (I believe there are nine in total.) These are distinct from the Moomin comics, which appeared in European newspapers in the 1950s and 1960s, after the novels became popular. Drawn and Quarterly has the North American license for the Moomin comics, as well as the Moomin picture books for young readers. Hi, Lori!
