The publication is a collection of eleven short stories set in Eastern Europe in the early to mid-1990s.
The work evokes the stark beauty and drama of those transient years when democracy was evolving in Eastern Europe, and when the author was simoultaneously coming into his own as an adult. Adam Trachtman left Philadelphia in 1994 to travel, play chess, and create art in the newly formed states of Eastern Europe. He used over 10,000 of his own photographs to illustrate this graphic novel.
“While the book is based in the Czech Republic, the stories explore the cultural changes going on in early 90s in Slovakia, Poland, Bulgaria, Bosnia, Serbia, Ukraine, and Russia. Sadly, many of these topics; war, corruption, mob-rules, xenophobia and cronyism are still just as destabilizing today as they were 30 years ago,” the author said.
Although some comics have already been made using artificial intelligence, Immersion is the first large-scale work of its kind. It is also the first volume in a planned series.
