Leeds Libraries are delighted to welcome two outstanding graphic‑novel creators from Yorkshire for a special author event celebrating comics, illustration, and non‑fiction storytelling.

Kristyna Baczynski is an illustrator, comic book artist, and author who grew up in the Pennines of Yorkshire, in a family from the Carpathians of Ukraine. The author of the graphic novels Retrograde Orbit and Another Realm, she is based in Leeds.

She will be joined by Darryl Cunningham, the award-winning author of Supercrash: How to Hijack the Global Economy, Graphic Science; The Age of Selfishness: Ayn Rand, Morality, and the Financial Crisis; Putin’s Russia: The Rise of a Dictator; and Billionaires, which won the Best Graphic Nonfiction category in the Broken Frontier Awards 2019. In 2015, he was one of thirty world-renowned photographers, painters, sculptors, writers, filmmakers, and musicians invited to contribute to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s Art of Saving a Life project to promote vaccination in the developing world. He was awarded an Honorary Degree of Master of Arts from Leeds Arts University. He lives in Wakefield, Yorkshire, in the United Kingdom.

Together, Kristyna and Darryl will discuss their work, creative processes, and the power of graphic storytelling to explore personal identity, politics, science, and society.

Kristyna’s new book is ANOTHER REALM. Darryl latest book is JOHN OF THE NIGHT.

Leeds Central Library is fully accessible. This event is for ages 12+.
