Late 2012 saw the launch of a comics collection titled Russian Avantgarde in Comics, published by Elektrika in Pančevo, and edited by Vladimir Palibrk. It includes Zograf's works on the Russian writer Alexei Remizov, along with comics by an international host of artists such as Arianna Vairo, Wostok, Igor Hofbauer and many more. The artists were all reflecting on the rich but not well enough known tradition of early 20th Century Russian avantgarde art - http://en1.artclue.net/elektrika-pancevo-showcase-of-artworks/
