Reviews

Utkin is primarily an illustrator and coming from that background uses the art to tell much of the story, keeping the words to a minimum, and his composition and use of colour is captivating. -- Karl Verhoven * The Slings & Arrows Graphic Novel Guide * Utkin's series of graphic novels based on Russian folklore features lush illustrations that alternate between crisp figure drawings and natural elements that seem to burst off the page. * Meduza *
