Kati Kovács (comics)

Her debut album was released in 1994 by Finnish publisher Like, who gave her free hands. The result was Vihreä rapsodia, a wild surreal journey, where the ten-year-old Kiti goes to Hungary to visit her friend Erika. Once upon a time she walks out for a multitude of strange revelations and episodes, including naked Mongols (asking for the ticket), talking dogs and a very strange circus. The main character Kiti recalls in the story a part of Hungary as Kovács himself visited virtually every summer during the youth - grandfather was a youngster. Some autobiography, however, is the series far away - "Well, I was always called Kati!"

In 1989 Kati Kovács published as a series maker for the first time, in the magazine Kannus. To the magazine she had already sent twelve (!) Years earlier in series never published. Kovács introduced more publications to become part of the 1990s new Finnish series of volunteers, which in some parts were translated into Swedish at, among others, Optimal Press.

Kovács was born in 1963 in Helsinki, Finland, to Finnish parents (her grandfather is, however, a Hungarian, hence the surname). She grew up in Finland and became interested in drawing early. As early as nine, she received her first drawing, in a children's magazine, where she submitted her contribution. In 1982 she visited Italy for school and learning Italian. In 1986 Kovács returned to Italy - for good. She fell in love with an Italian (he worked as a dog trainer) and settled with him in Rome. They then got two children together.
