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!
