For someone who recently won the Eisner award, considered the Oscars of the comic book industry, Mumbai-based graphic artist Anand Radhakrishnan isn’t resting on the new laurel. The 32-year-old who won the award for the Best Painter/Multimedia Artist (interior art) category for the graphic novel Blue In Green (2020) is already working on the second issue of an upcoming graphic novel, collaborating once again with UK-based Ram V, who was the author for the award-winning work. 

Barely a few years old in the industry, Radhakrishnan is building on the momentum he has picked up while working with Ram V on his last two graphic novels. The duo is set to release the first issue of their new novel Radio Apocalypse in October. It is about the presence of the last radio station on Earth in a post-apocalyptic world and is unlike their last two collaborations.
