Synopsis

A graphic, genre-mashing magnum opus
from one of the most restlessly creative
voices in comics.
Tommi Musturi’s Future traps the reader into a web
of stories happening in different time spaces, providing
perspectives on the possible futures of mankind
through imaginary future worlds, current events, historical
references, utopias, and ideals. Future is a mash-up
of the familiar and the terribly alien: quotidian existence,
sci-fi spectacle, utopian fantasy, AI dystopia, and other
worst-case scenarios. Richly philosophical and allegorical,
Musturi chronicles alcoholic magicians, guerrilla
art squads, mutant reality television hosts, and incel
archaeologist-astronauts, among many others.
Weaving between a variety of styles in illustration
and narration that transform and reflect our constantly
changing reality, Future is an impassioned graphic novel
for our times that renews the medium of comics ― a vital
and multifaceted work of art. Known as a stylistic chameleon
who often deals with existential themes that twirl around the
ideal of “freedom,” Musturi has crafted his masterpiece, an
attention-grabbing, bravura showcase of a rich visual imagination
with a deeply moral center.

À propos de l'auteur

Born in 1975, Tommi Musturi is a Finnish cartoonist, illustrator, graphic designer, and artist. In addition to his current ongoing series Walking with Samuel and The Books of Hope, Musturi contributes to the studio Kutikuti based out of Helsinki, which creates, publishes, and teaches comic art. Seeing that there was an unmet demand, Musturi co-founded Huuda Huuda in 2006 to translate international comics into Finnish, publish local comic artists, and get the word out about the vibrant Finnish scene by anthologising the work in English. Musturi currently resides in Tampere, Finland.
