Stories 2017-2022

Alexey Khromogin — a Tula artist, one of the most prolific contemporary comic book authors. He told you a dark detective story «Lights in the Forest», infused with the mystique of the Russian hinterland, and a fictional melancholic biography of... Gagarin in the sketch «The First Man on Earth». He contemplated self-censorship together with Vitaly Terletskiy in «50 Years of Love» and joked about A.S. Pushkin in the comic anecdote «The Author». In addition to these major works, there were also smaller, but no less interesting ones — for contests, collections, for himself. It is such works that Alexey collected in this anthology, accompanied by his comments and short anecdotes from his creative life over the past 5 years.
In the collection, you will find 14 stories in completely different genres and on various themes. Here you will find parodies of Hellboy and Batman, simple everyday dramas, chilling horror stories, and classic arthouse abyss. Many stories were specially redrawn for this publication, and some are even published for the first time.
