H/b. Volume 3. A collection of graphic stories. Akishin A.E.

The third volume of the collected works of the master of the domestic comic book-Askold Akishin.

the black and white world of Askold Akishin is fascinating. Its stories are captured and amazed by the materiality of the unusual, reliability of unreal. In the world comic book, he became one of the first to fully bring polystyalism, within the framework of one story in the parameters of monochrome graphics, combining many stylistic solutions, turning the variability of drawing methods into a powerful expressive and narrative means.

This anthology Unique not only for domestic, but also for world practice. Full-fledged collections of the works of most of the largest authors of the world comic book, similar to literary collections of essays, so far are not editable due to the dispetrability of publishing rights to the comics of these authors.

The dynamics of Akishin’s work clearly reflects the rushes and decline in comic booking in Russia. In the Dead Seasons, he turns to illustrations for periodicals, books, board games, advertising, which in themselves could compose more than one impressive graphic album, in the "breakthrough" years returns to the favorite business - to comics.
