Prophet
Amanda Vähämäki

The hero of our story, let's call him little Klaus, is rudely interrupted by his mother while reading a book at his father's studio. It's no ordinary book, it's one of little Klaus' favourites, an old, beautifully illustrated and miniated manuscript which has a great deal of fantastic creatures and beasts drawn all over it. Klaus' mother wants him to go to the attic and fetch the picture of his aunt, the black sheep of the family, who is coming over for lunch. Klaus goes and never comes back again, because peeking out from the attic window he suddenly realizes that the whole world has been drowned by an incredible tide.

Amanda Vähämäki, born in 1981 in Tampere, Finland. Studied fine arts at the Fine Arts Academy of Bologna, Italy. Once graduated, she moved to Helsinki, where she now works as a comic artist at the one and only Finnish comic art atelier, Kuti Kuti. Also member of the Italian comic collective, Canicola. Shorter stories can be found in anthologies such as Canicola, Orang, Glömp etc. For a longer one, try the graphic novel Campo di babà (The Bun Field), now available in Italian (Canicola, 2006), Finnish (Daada, 2007), French (Fremok, 2007), Swedish (Kulturhuset, 2007) and Serbian (Fabrika Knjiga, 2007).
