All the Living Launch Party With Roman Muradov

We're excited to announce a special launch party with Roman Muradov for the release of his brand new comic, All the Living! Join us on Thursday 26th February 2026, from 7-9pm.

All the Living is a melancholic ghost story and one we can't wait for. Roman Muradov, whose self-published work is always a treat here on our shelves has his unique art style on full display with this new entry. We turn 40 this year and publisher Fantagraphics are sharing a significant birthday with us in 2026 as they celebrate 50 years of publishing. We're happy to be celebrating together this year with some fantastic events and special releases! Here's what they say about the book:

A captivating mediation on existence by acclaimed artist and graphic novelist Roman Muradov.

Waking up in Purgatory, a young woman is forced to take part in a lottery, which she wins. Unfortunately for her, since she has had enough of life, the prize is to return to the world of the living and continue her life from where she had left it, with one significant difference: this time, she can see and communicate with ghosts—her own included. Her dull, monotonous life carries on, though her profound solitude is now mitigated by the presence of the ghosts of the dead, most notably her own. She discovers that living with her ghost has its advantages, until this relationship suddenly turns into a spectral triangle...

By turns compassionate and cruel, All the Living is a quiet, melancholy story full of delicate details, and unexpected humor. It's a slow and subtle meditation on loneliness, rendered in Muradov's shifting style, full of finesse and sensuality. A parable — at the same time gentle, penetrating, and occasionally profane — that marks the return of a master of the modern graphic novel.

Roman will be launch All the Living here on Thursday 26th February, from 7pm. You can pre-order a signed copy by clicking the link here.
