Далечните похитители

A singular, atmospheric comic from Bulgaria, Далечните похитители (The Distant Abductors) was launched in 1975 as a collaboration between writer Иван Кръстев and artist Христо Брайков. Released as a single issue, this work stands as a distinctive artifact of its era, exploring a science-fiction premise through Брайков’s evocative visual style. Its importance lies in representing a unique, early Bulgarian contribution to the comic medium, offering a glimpse into the creative possibilities of the country’s sequential art during the mid-1970s.
