Tokyopop To Publish ‘Victory for Ukraine’ Graphic Novel Anthology
Working in collaboration with the Ukrainian creative collective Art Nation, Tokyopop is publishing Peremoha: Victory for Ukraine, a full-color comics anthology featuring nine stories by Ukrainian creators, in print September 27.
The anthology’s nine stories capture the devastation and human cost of the Russian invasion of Ukraine as well as the heroism of the Ukrainian people and its military. The stories include “The Ghost of Kiev,” a story about the legendary Ukrainian fighter pilot, and “Zmiinyi Island 13,” the story of the battle for Snake Island and the Ukrainian soldiers that defied Russian demands to surrender.
The book was first released in digital format August 24, Ukrainian Independence Day. A portion of the proceeds from the book will be donated to Razom for Ukraine (Razom means “together”), a Ukrainian American non-profit established to support the people of Ukraine.
Tokyopop publisher Stu Levy said, “These stories are vignettes, originally created and published to inspire the people of Ukraine, but they will leave a lasting impression on readers around the world. We invite readers to discover this book and to stand for victory and freedom with the people of Ukraine.”
