Another Realm TPB (Mature)

A vibrant, career-spanning celebration of the work of British-Ukrainian illustrator and cartoonist Kristyna Baczynski, bringing together her acclaimed graphic novel Retrograde Orbit with a rich selection of her self-published comics and illustrated zines.This collection showcases Baczynski’s unmistakable visual voice—pages alive with colour, emotion, and intricate characterisation. Drawing on inspirations that range from nature and folklore to 1990s pop nostalgia and gentle sci-fi atmospheres, her work creates worlds that are warm, strange, imaginative, and deeply human. Readers will find tender autobiographical pieces, exuberant short comics, playful experiments in risograph printmaking, and the full sweep of Retrograde Orbit, her coming-of-age tale of identity, heritage, and finding one’s place in the cosmos.Across more than a decade of making, Baczynski has built a body of work that bridges independent zine culture with mainstream publishing, collaborating with houses such as Penguin Random House, Hachette, 2000 AD, Carlton, and Canongate. This volume gathers the very best of her small-press output alongside her major long-form work, offering a definitive introduction to an artist whose storytelling is as heartfelt as it is visually distinctive.A richly illustrated, genre-blending collection for fans of contemporary comics, risograph art, and creators with a singular, imaginative world of their own.
