Blending Ballardian contemplation of the near future with the aesthetics of early European sci-fi comics, Lando's incredibly meticulous, impossibly fine pen line describes the deserted world that follows the Anthropocene epoch, where warfare, class division and ecological collapse dominate the landscape.
