The Book of Future is out!

So, finally my new graphic novel FUTURE is out.

288 pages in multicolour with dozen of stories twisted and wringled into one wholesome. The book was meant to be about ‘the possible futures of mankind’ and ended up aiming to all the directions with multiple styles and perspectives.

The firs doc for the script was written 2012 and I later drew it for five years. The past year went with organizing the co-edition. So, it’s been a long ride until now. Though ‘future’ has taken wild random routes the past ten years and the stories inside have lived to the last minute, I’m reliefed this one is now out my hands… as from this point on it’s not anymore my property but yours – the reader – so enjoy.

You can get the book already or soon in seven languages:

Zum Teufel (Finnish)
La 5e Couche (French)
Editorial Barrett (Spanish)
Baggaardsbaroner (Danish)
Timof Comics (Polish)
Fantagraphics (English, release 6th of August)
D’Editore / Fortepressa (Italian, out later this Spring)

The Finnish edition is also available from me directly, just mail me.

At this point I’d just want to thank everyone involved: the publishers, the translators, the printers, the retailers, the funders, the subscribers of the mag versions, the letterers and everyone else involved in this somehow – there are plenty of you.

I’ll be touring with the book this Spring starting this month with the Finnish release (19.1. at 17–19 in Laukontorin antikvariaatti, Tampere), French release (25.1. Angoulême) and later with trips to Warsaw and Copenhagen.

Thanks and see you!

Got recently featured in these two great publications – Stripburger(#80) from Slovenia and CBA(#59) from Sweden – both SB and CBA have been around about the same period I’ve been working with comics – 20–30 years. It’s good to see they’re stubbornly continuing (like I as well). SB features as well a lengthy interview with our Kutikuti posse.

Get your copies from Stripburger and CBKComics.

Some samples on the new Future#9 magazine. This 2nd last issue of the series presents ‘The Exhibition’ of the bohemian bunch that the reader has seen building something through the back issues. Features horrible nightmare, our magician making his final decision, evening in Centra and a very smiley future. The wholesome is getting to its end, or does it?

One issue to go and my aim is that it’ll be out in January ’23. If you’re interested in ordering this or the past issues (just reprinted #4 so it’s all available again) these cost 6€ per mag inclduing shipping. 60€ for the whole 10 magazine series. Just mail me.

Future serie is getting nearer to its end with #8 just out the printers. The storylines are getting wrapped, tied, looped & twisted. In this issue: a new life begins, the rich get poor, science fails to explain our world, the day in Centra falls into night, magic taking place and all that and yet a bit more.

I’ve reprinted #1 again so all the issues (#1–8) are available, directly from me as well (6€ each). My aim is to get the last two issues done this year so stay tuned. I’ll post an updated list of the distributors in a month.

Remember that you can as well still subscribe to it all, ten issues being 60€. If you’re interested in ordering just MAIL ME.
