I was just reading the other day that Ukko was a Indo-European God of the Sky, Thunder, Lightning & Harvest in the same vain as Thor in Norse Mythology
Ukko is also held as the most significant god of Finnish mythology & is Finnish for 'male grandparent', 'grandfather'& 'old man"

Not quite the Ukko we all know and love

Presumably the colouring on Stainless Steel Rat is from the Eagle Comics reprints (like the Nemesis one) rather than something completely new. Did Carlos colour that himself? I know he did the covers.

The Eagle comics were coloured by Janet Landau but i think they missed out a lot of the stories as there was only 6 issues containing all 3 stories
