Daryl Seitchik ′18 brought issue 1 of their new comic Follow the Doll to the Comic Arts Brooklyn festival. It will be a painted graphic novel and is inspired by one of the most beloved Slavic folktales, “Vasilisa the Wise”—or “Vasilisa the Beautiful,” or simply, “Vasilisa.” Not an adaptation of the traditional tale, Daryl is attempting to “dig up, reveal, and bring to life the latent content in an old story rich with archetypal meanings.” Keep an eye on their store if they put issue 1 on sale!
Daryl’s previous work, Exits (Koyama Press), was nominated for the 2017 Eisner Award for Best New Graphic Album and was in the Top 20 Graphic Novels of 2016 on Amazon. Daryl teaches children’s comics classes on the CCS campus and throughout New England.
