Igor
Gladkov

Brief, irrational responses to questions about old age and loneliness.

An elderly man listens to the song "Oh, My Dove" and recalls a happy past...

Igor, a courier, rides through the grey streets of Petersburg; his days are brightened only by the freshness of the Gulf of Finland, his colleague Anya and a dream of a seaside trip together. He loses his bearings and falls for a girl, a blogger — his actions leave invisible wounds on Anya, but an unexpected ending sets everything right. 60 pages, ISBN 978-5-907637-05-4, Alpaca publishing house.

In search of happiness, a young couple moves to Moscow, where ill fortune awaits them: a cyst, an operation, a mysterious stranger. A rare example of collage comics, grown out of personal experience; the cyst is an image of hidden fears and change. A joint project with the artist Anna Yozhikova. 106 pages, ISBN 978-5-908065-07-8, Raduga publishing house.
