- Pervo-Kris
Pervo-Kris is a British/Norwegian comic character that has been in constant production since early 1990.
Pervo-Kris originally debuted in the Norwegian crazy comic "Pyton Spesial" in 1990, and was one of the most popular characters in both "Pyton Spesial" and regular "Pyton" until 1995. The comic is written and drawn by Kristian B. Walters - AKA The Walters.
Pervo-Kris was also featured in the Swedish spin-off comic "Mega Pyton" after 1995 and has been a regular feature in Finnish Pyton (called "Myrkky", published by Egmont) the last ten years (they call Pervo-Kris ”Pera-Pervo” in Finland).
Finnish readers have annually voted Pervo-Kris their number 1 favourite character more times than any other strips/cartoons featured. Beating out Martin Kellerman’s ”Rocky”, legendary Hunt Emerson’s ”Firkin” , Peter Bagge’s ”Hate” and other top titles.
Pervo-Kris has sold thousands of cult t-shirts, been printed in several
comic book s and albums, even a computer game made by Finnish Egmont in 1999.Pervo-Kris will hit 20 years of production in 2009 and hopefully the loyal Norwegian legion of fans will - for the first time since 1995 – be able to read never before seen material in book/comic format.
