Can you smell the aroma of freshly fried langos? Can you hear the strains of 90s hits from the beach bar? There's something for everyone at the Hladina (“Surface”) resort, whether you're looking for inspiration for writing, a cure for a midlife crisis, or just decent conditions for windsurfing.


You're holding a comic one-shot that has no room for high drama or existential philosophy. With your small-town besties and one aging weirdo, you'll savor in sips exactly what you ordered: cuba libre, one-to-one. Find a comfy lounger and don't forget the sunscreen!

• "An uncomfortably carnal depiction of a sweltering summer, where sand sticks to your sunscreen-smeared skin and a swarm of wasps descend on your sweaty beer hand. One to One is the perfect book for anyone who feels they haven't read anything new in comics in a long time." – Štěpánka Jislová
  
  
  "Sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll, sun, camp and a fry-up from the buffet. Five things no holiday adventure can be without. And One to One has them all!"* – Michal Nikkarin Mensik
  
  
  Pavel Kučera (pavlatoar) – I'm an illustrator with an overlap, nestled in Cologne at the moment. I used to do animation, short film and post-production, but ended up with comics. In 2016, I published my comic debut Zrazeni (“Betrayed”), and later on I started (and hopefully will finish someday) the bizarre-fairy-tale project Innverse. In my spare time I play board games, shoot photos on film, surf on a carver skateboard, or forge something.
  
  
  Jakub Guman – I make my living as a writing tutor, game writer, and psychotherapist. All my professions are united by a respect for stories and fine work with words and language. In my search for paradise on Earth, I have landed in the least populated area of Bohemia, where I would like to build a permaculture farm and an astronomical observatory.
