Writer Ram V and artist Anand RK, the duo behind “Grafity’s Wall” and “Blue in Green,” are back for their latest musically-tinted comic book collaboration, “Radio Apocalypse.” A four-part miniseries from Vault Comics, the book will reteam the creators with letterer Aditya Bidikar, who hand-lettered their past two projects.
The story follows the Earth’s last radio station, Bakerstown’s Radio Apocalypse, following the total collapse of society, and the life that is inextricably tied to the station’s fate. The first issue features a cover by RK, and a variant by Nathan Gooden and Tim Daniel.
“Back in 2017 when Anand and I first started collaborating on comics, we discussed ‘Radio Apocalypse’ but, as circumstances would have it, we ended up working on other projects,” explained Ram V. “We’ve both gone on to do well-received work in comics. All that while, ‘Radio Apocalypse’ grew and mutated and developed in the back of our minds, into what it is today. It is a story of the resilience and joy of music, love and the human spirit even in the bleakest of times and we’ve been raring to tell it for over three years. With ‘Radio Apocalypse,’ I’m thrilled to be able to share this mix-tape for the end-times with our readers!”
“Some of my favorite things to do in art is world-building, especially when this world is so similar to ours but just not quite it,” said RK. “To design specifics of this world, how characters inhabit it, how physics and biology of it work, the culture that shapes it. I find this immensely exciting and satisfying. ‘Radio Apocalypse’ is one such project and I can’t wait for Ram and me to tell this story.”
“Radio Apocalypse” #1 will release in April, for three pages of preview art check here.
