After Snowfall<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Enough of all those stupid Various pages on this site.\u00c2\u00a0 From now on  everybody gets their own page!\u00c2\u00a0 This is a collection of stories from 18  different artists (about half from Latvia, the rest from Germany,  Sweden, Russia, Switzerland, Finland, Spain, and Lithuania), all dealing  with stories set, obviously, after snowfall.\u00c2\u00a0 These stories go all over  the place, as stories from every good anthology should do, with all  sorts of artistic styles.\u00c2\u00a0 There&#8217;s Kolbeinn Karlsson telling the story  of Dracula&#8217;s last days on earth (and how he bit a woman just so he  wouldn&#8217;t be alone when he died), Ruta Briede with a silent piece about a  lonely man in a snowglobe, Ines Christine Geisser showing the tragic  consequences of stealing giant blocks of ice from a frozen lake,  Hironori Kikuchi (the sampled piece) with a deceptively adorable story  about stuffed animals and a human noticing that pieces of their story  haven&#8217;t had the snow filled in, Yoshi cluing us all in as to how to know  which way to dig if you&#8217;re trapped in an avalanche, Johan Klungel shows  a suicide that didn&#8217;t work exactly as intended, Ernests Klavins with a  brilliant Lord of the Rings parody where the snow is very useful in  tracking the invisible Gollum, and Aisha Franz has a great piece about  how an underground child (Americans, think Cabbage Patch Kids) comes up a  little too early.\u00c2\u00a0 That&#8217;s roughly half of the people involved, anyway,  and just about everything in here has something to recommend it.\u00c2\u00a0 About  2\/3 of this is in color, and I mean vibrant, strong colors.\u00c2\u00a0 All that  and this is still only a measly $6 (U.S., cheaper with places with a  functioning economy), while still being the size of a mini comic  (although fatter).\u00c2\u00a0 If you&#8217;re sick of the same old stuff, this is a  perfect place to start expanding your horizons. $6<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/baltic52.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"baltic52\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/baltic52.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"319\" height=\"468\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website Baltic Comics Magazine #5 &#8211;
