Albumissa Vala auringolle tutustuttiin sioux-intiaaneihin heidän kulttuurinsa huipulla 1869. Aavetanssi kertoo siouxien mustimmasta kaudesta, kun he elivät ahdettuina reservaatteihin, nälkää nähden, vain kaksikymmentä vuotta myöhemmin 1890!
Eeppisesti mahtava ja älykäs tarina, joka ei voi olla koskettamatta.

About the author
Petri Hiltunen
78 books30 followersPetri Hiltunen is a Finnish comic book artist, writer and illustrator. Hiltunen has produced work in a variety of genres, but is most notable for his fantasy and horror work. He has won the prestigious Puupäähattu award in 2002, which is regarded as the highest honour for Finnish comic artists. He is also a well-known figure in Finnish science fiction fandom and a regular panelist and guest of honour at conventions, such as Finncon.
His own comic albums include the horror/fantasy tale Laulu yön lapsista ("Song of the children of the night") and a comic version of Macbeth. The fantasy world of Jaconia, created for his Praedor comics, has been adapted into a role-playing game of the same name. His work has also been featured in the science fiction magazine Tähtivaeltaja, the Finnish Conan magazine and twice in the war comics magazine Korkeajännitys: a western story and one story set in the Finnish War. His drawing style is quite detailed, particularly with his characters, and features heavy lines.
Hiltunen is best known in the Finnish popular consciousness from his much lighter, humorous newspaper comic strip Väinämöisen paluu ("The Return of Väinämöinen"), published in many major newspapers and as comic books. In it, the Eternal Sage of Kalevala ends his self-imposed exile to find that he might have been gone for too long. He must try to adjust to modern Finland (e.g. finding out that these newfangled "potatoes" are now considered a traditional food) as modern Finland must try to adjust to him (e.g. a group of neo-nazis coming to greet him and introducing themselves as indigenous Finns; they are nonplussed when he starts apologizing and it turns out he thought they were Sami.) As the culture shock gradually faded, the strip became a more character-based comedy but eventually faded in turn.

Aavetanssi jatkaa “Vala auringolle” -albumin hahmojen parissa, mutta toiminee yksinkin.
En pitänyt tästä yhtä paljon kuin edeltävästä albumista siitä yksinkertaisesta syystä, että en pidä katastrofitarinoista, jollainen tämäkin on. Tarina johtaa vääjäämättä - ja siinä mielessä tylsästi - kohti Wounded Kneen katastrofia. Onneksi Hiltunen oli järjestänyt loppuun muutakin draaman kaarta ja yllätystä.
Hiltusen hieman staattinen piirrostyyli oli tässäkin albumissa kaunista ja toimi hyvin. Näki, että asiaan oli satsattu.

Aina kun kuvataan hahmoja, jotka ovat niin syvästi uskossaan, että ovat parempia kuin muut sen takia, se saa huutamaan ja paiskomaan sarjakuvia. Ei vain pysty.
