Stories 2017-2022

Alexey Khromogin — a Tula artist, one of the most productive contemporary comic book authors. He told you a grim detective story "Lights in the Forest," infused with the mystique of the Russian hinterland, and a fictional melancholic biography of... Gagarin in the study "The First Man on Earth." He contemplated with Vitaly Terletsky about self-censorship in "50 Years of Love" and joked about A.S. Pushkin in the comic anecdote "Author." Besides these major works, there were also smaller, yet just as interesting ones — for contests, collections, and for himself. It is such works that Alexey collected in this anthology, accompanied by his comments and short anecdotes from the creative life of the last 5 years.
In the anthology, you will find 14 stories in completely different genres and on various themes. Here you have parodies of Hellboy and Batman, simple everyday dramas, chilling horror stories, and classic arthouse depths. Many stories were specially redrawn for this edition, and some are published for the first time.
