A recent press release from Titan Books has announced the following:
Myhre will sign her latest two books Nemi Vol. 1 and Nemi Vol. 2, [Titan Books] Saturday, June 6, at 2 pm & Sunday, June 7, at 1 pm
Created when Myhre “set out to find an imaginary friend” and named after Italy’s ancient (and supposedly enchanted) Lake Nemi and fictional hero Inigo Montoya of The Princess Bride (one of Myhre’s favorite films), Lise Myhre’s Nemi Montoya is a goth-tinged heroine for the modern twenty-something, tapping into all the fun, fervor and frustrations of the 21st Century woman. Already a national star in her native Norway, she and her look-alike creation, Nemi, are renowned throughout Europe and have now launched in the USA. Nemi’s first volume has reprinted multiple times, and the strip continues to appear daily across Europe.
“In my opinion, Nemi is a mix of how we are, how we wish we were, and how we're glad we're not.” – Lise Myhre
Praise from other creators:
“On a train or in an airport or when forced to be polite, secretly we repeat word for word what Nemi would say but usually only quietly behind perfectly glossed lips.” – Tori Amos
“Lise Myhre is a big shot in Norway, and deserves to be one here as well"
"Funny, honest, and strangely compelling." - Jeff Smith (Bone)
