Mursu reading his latest adventures

Capitaine Mursu and his friends are reading
their latest adventures.
A friendly bird brought them straight
from Axel's drawing table right there in the heart of Paris:)

Raimo the amazing repair man

Mursu is in need of a new propeller for his boat.

He pays a visit to his friend Raimo who is an world-class expert on everything that's " fast and furious" on land and sea!

Helsinki Dance Festival

During the Helsinki Dance festival,

Mursu invited a young choregrapher on his boat, great evening!

HELSINKI BOOK FAIR

Mursu and his friends witnessed a strange scene in the center of Helsinki in front of Stockmann, at the Kolmen sepän aukio during the Book Fair of Helsinki...

Mursu in Scotland

A peculiar bird is seen by Capitaine Mursu flying over the Baltic sea

A tribute to the former Finnish president.

October baltic herring market

Mursu's holiday

Despite the fact that our heroes were wearing sunglasses , the authors recognized Helena and Mursu on a beach near Helsinki this summer...

And while Toma was writing and Axel was sketching guess who ate all their lunch (without making a single noise) ?

Josepheen !!!

Paris-Berlin-Talinn by car

We, ( Axel and Thomas, creators of Mursu) met for the
first time since June, last week in Paris and we
came up with a lot of new ideas for Capitaine mursu.
We'll soon be putting more material on the blog,
as for now here is a picture drawn by Axel celebrating
a car trip over Europe, from Paris to Talinn.

Capitaine Mursu's table at the Helsinki comic book Festival

We had a great spot in a corner with a beautiful light just
behind the table.

Betting on the right Horse!

Helsinki's comic book festival

It was a lot of fun to finally meet our readers,
and we'd like to thank everyone who paid a visit
see you all soon.

Our next Festival will Be Angoulème, more details on that later one

Capitaine Mursu's Guide book: Finland

The Guide book by Capitaine Mursu is ready on time
for the Helsinki comic book festival
and the authors are happy to know that they'll soon
be able get some sleep...
It seems that the only thing common to all comic book creation is
that time better be on your side, cause you'll end-up needing plenty of it!

We will be in Gloria Sali, on Pieni Robba on the second floor
10h00 to 17h00 Saturday and Sunday.

The guide, as well as a set of postcards and a couple of other goodies
will be available at the Capitaine Mursu's stand

Hurry there is only a limited amout of books available
and they will all be numbered 1 to 60, making your copy unique!

Different saunas for capitaine Mursu

Before creating the ideal sauna Axel made a lot of research trying to
get the hang of how sauna building look like,
the amount of time spent on visual research for
Capitaine mursu's stories is simply mind boggling.

Josepheen As the Finnish Lion

Josepheen, the Scottish otter who lives on Capitaine Mursu's boat
looks great as a Finnish lion!
This is the second stamp in a serie
that will continue as long as we possibly can

Capitaine Mursu Goes Kekkonen

a fantastic idea by Axel, who I have to add does not live in Finland
he knew U.K eventhough he lives in Paris, how cool is that?
Axel just browsed the collection of stamps
that the Finnish Post has on its website and fell in Love with the Glasses.

Magnificent.

Logo

Here you can find the first release of the
logo for capitaine Mursu.

Axel used the letters M.U.R.S.U ( Mursu: Morse in Finnish)
to create the Morse's face

Capitaine mursu also has its own website at the following address
