自从姆明漫画在《伦敦晚报》上首次露面以来，Tove Jansson的作品就引起了国际轰动，产生了同名的电视节目，咖啡馆，博物馆，歌剧，甚至还有游乐园。现在，在这个新的豪华版中，有数百页的姆明漫画，以Moominmamma，Snorkmaiden，Sniff，Fillyjonk夫人和其他许多熟悉的面孔为主角。

本书中收集的漫画由拉尔斯•扬森（Lars Jansson）创作，当时他的妹妹托夫（Tove）画了五年后厌倦了每天更新连环画。拉尔斯（Lars）长期参与了姆明连环画的创作——他将它们翻译成英文以供出版。尽管他之前对绘画一无所知，但拉尔斯接管了每日更新的连环漫画。 Tove教过他，经过两年的兄妹合作，拉尔斯独立创作了十四年。到20世纪70年代中期，也就是这部连环画****的时候，全球有40家报纸登载了姆明的故事，它对儿童和成人有着同样的吸引力。

《姆明:拉尔斯•扬森创作漫画豪华版》收集了Lars Jansson为该系列的创作的漫画以及稀有的，由这两位漫画家和作者提供的短时效物品和礼物。这本设计精巧书是所有姆明谷粉丝的必备之作。

A lavish celebration of Moominvalley, complete with hundreds of pages of comics, writing, and ephemera

Since the first Moomin comic strip appeared in the London Evening News, Tove Jansson’s creations have become an international sensation, inspiring TV shows, cafés, a museum, an opera, and even an amusement park. And now in this new deluxe edition are hundreds of pages of Moomin comics, starring Moominmamma, Snorkmaiden, Sniff, Mrs. Fillyjonk, and many more familiar faces.

Collected in this volume are the comics created by Lars Jansson, when his sister, Tove, grew tired of drawing a daily strip after half a decade. Lars had long been involved in the creation of the Moomin strips―he translated them into English for publication. Though he had little knowledge of drawing, Lars took over the daily comic strip. Tove taught him, and after two years of sibling collaboration, Lars authored the strips independently for fourteen years. By the mid-1970s, when the strip was at its height of popularity, the tales of Moominvalley were being syndicated in forty papers worldwide, just as absorbing to adult readers as they were to children. Even today, the stories remain uniquely resonant with readers for more than just their quirky, outlandish appearances. With silly humor, the Moominvalley characters emphasize the importance of community and respecting one’s environment to readers young and old.

Moomin: The Deluxe Lars Jansson Edition collects Lars Jansson’s contributions to the series alongside rare ephemera and tributes by cartoonists and writers. Sumptuously designed, it is a must for any fan of Moominvalley.
