Kari Tapio Leppänen (born September 1, 1945) is a Finnish comics artist who has worked on the Phantom comic since 1979.

Biography

Leppänen has worked for the Swedish comics industry since the 1970's, initially for the comic books Min Häst (My Horse) and Tumac. After that he was given the opportunity to try out for the Phantom. Leppänen has been a vital part of Team Fantomen ever since, primarily as an artist but on a few occasions as a writer aswell.

Leppänen has also created several back-up strips for the Fantomen comic book, including "Achilles Wiggen", "Xellana", "Starstriker" and "Dödsspelet" ("The Death Game").

Five of his Phantom stories have been reprinted in De Bästa Äventyren #1, a pocket book entirely dedicated to Leppänen
