Synopsis‘LONGFORM is precisely the stimulus and catalyst that Indian comics need right now to build for the future.’ —Paul Gravett
LONGFORM Annual is a showcase of what is beyond the realm of the possible — stories that subvert the idea of a conventional narrative; stories about ordinary people; autobiographies; travel tales – and through these stories establish comics as a permanent feature on a reader’s shelf. The name ‘Longform’ is inspired by a Joe Sacco essay on the shrinking space to tell long graphic stories.
The anthology takes us through the streets of Rome and Kolkata, modern-day Tehran and ancient Bhutan, around-the-corner dystopias, imaginary cities and kaleidoscopic dreamscapes. The artists presented in the anthology include well-known names from India and elsewhere, such as Satyajit Ray, Barroux,
Venkat Shyam, Prakash Moorthy, Allen Shaw, as well as introduce a vast number of emerging artists and their range of styles.
