A vibrant, career-spanning celebration of the work of British-Ukrainian illustrator and cartoonist Kristyna Baczynski, bringing together her acclaimed graphic novel Retrograde Orbit with a rich selection of her self-published comics and illustrated zines.
This collection showcases Baczynski’s unmistakable visual voice – pages alive with colour, emotion, and intricate characterisation. Drawing on inspirations that range from nature and folklore to 1990s pop nostalgia and gentle sci-fi atmospheres, her work creates worlds that are warm, strange, imaginative, and deeply human. Readers will find tender autobiographical pieces, exuberant short comics, playful experiments in risograph printmaking, and the full sweep of Retrograde Orbit, her coming-of-age tale of identity, heritage, and finding one’s place in the cosmos.
Across more than a decade of making, Baczynski has built a body of work that bridges independent zine culture with mainstream publishing, collaborating with houses such as Penguin Random House, Hachette, 2000AD, Carlton, and Canongate. This volume gathers the very best of her small-press output alongside her major long-form work, offering a definitive introduction to an artist whose storytelling is as heartfelt as it is visually distinctive.A richly illustrated, genre-blending collection for fans of contemporary comics, risograph art, and creators with a singular, imaginative world of their own.

Britain, 2019. The secluded rural village of Harrowvale holds a dark past: years earlier, on a farm bordering the woods, a cult – led by the charismatic Jasper Hillman – sought to escape civilisation and find purity in the old ways, namely worshipping an ancient deity called Thistlebone. The cult’s pagan beliefs grew so deranged that they kidnapped a young girl, Avril Eason, with the intention of sacrificing her. But Avril escaped… and now, so many years later, she returns to Harrowvale to face the demons of her past. Haunting and visceral, the Complete Thistlebone collects volumes 1-3 of the acclaimed folk horror series by T.C. Eglington and Simon Davis.
