Årets Nemi-bok, Skumle damen, er den fjerde i rekken og presenterer alle Nemi-historier fra sommeren 2002 til våren 2003. I tillegg til helsider fra Dagbladet Magasinet inneholder boka et vell av striper, illustrerte dikt, en lengre historie, bladforsider og mye annet.
Lise Myhre har opplevd en enestående suksess med Nemi-serien. Fra en sped start med det som tilsynelatende var en smal serie om, for og med svartkledde unge mennesker i 1997, har Nemi og hennes venninne Cyan vunnet stadig flere hjerter. Serien slo naturlig nok først an i Norge, men er også meget populær i våre naboland. Per i dag publiseres serien daglig i mer enn 125 aviser/nettsteder i et ti-talls land, og Nemi-bøker utgis i Sverige, Finland, Danmark, Tyskland, Spania, Italia, England og USA.
Den norske bokserien samler alt som er laget om og med Nemi, kronologisk og med Lises egne kommentarer, og mye av materialet er nyfargelagt spesielt for bøkene.
Norwegian cartoonist. Her most famous cartoon is Nemi.
After a short study of graphical design at the Santa Monica College of Art in California, Lise Myhre started her career as an artist, earning money illustrating CD covers and t-shirts. She also participated in cartoon competitions and started giving contributions to Larsons Gale Verden, the Norwegian version of Gary Larson's magazine The Far Side ("M.P." in 1996).
From 1997, Myhre was given her own page in Larsons Gale Verden, "Den svarte siden" (English: the Black Side/Page), and this developed into Nemi. From 1999, Nemi was a guest cartoon in the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet, and from 2000 as a regular. The first Nemi album was published the summer 2000, and it was a great success. Since Myhre changed publisher, from Bladkompaniet to Egmont, in January 2003, there is a new Nemi magazine published every 6 weeks.
Nemi, with a circulation of more than 70,000 copies, is now one the two most popular cartoons in Norway, next to Pondus.
Nemi is today published in approximately 60 different newspapers, magazines and websites in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, England and Scotland. Amongst these, the Metro (in England, Scotland and Ireland), Dagens Nyheter (Sweden), Ilta-Sanomat (Finland) and Dagbladet (Norway) are the biggest.
Lise Myhre has also illustrated poems by Edgar Allan Poe and André Bjerke.
She is married to musician ICS Vortex (Simen Hestnæs), and they have a son, Storm, born 2007.
It's a shame they stopped being translated at this point. I see many more volumes but nothing on the publishers website beyond this volume. If anyone knows different please let me know!
Nemi is a Goth. This book of collected cartoon strips shows us her casual non standard view of the world around her. She is very much the center of her world. Nice graphics.
I really like Nemi. She's my favorite comic girl. She's my spirit animal. I just love the way she is. This book contains comic strips from summer 2002 until spring 2003.
