I'm kind of excited about the next issue of Showcase because it will present a couple of young female cartoonists who will be new to most North American readers. The above image is by Amanda Vahamaki. She's had stuff appear regularly in the Canicola anthology. I believe she's Finnish but living in Italy. We are currently enamored of female Finnish cartoonists evidently.
The second is Anneli Furmark and she just sent us a blind submission that we loved. She is Swedish and that is all I know about her. The above panel is from her forthcoming story.
I'll keep the third member of this volume a secret for now.
