"Defenders of the Galaxy": Power and Crisis in the Male World — is the third book by Tamara Martsenyuk and the second one that was illustrated by me. In this book author analyzes key points of the masculinity development and make a case of rights inequality for men.
This time it was important to keep some basic elements to create a series with previous book Why we shouldn't be afraid of feminism. That is why I repeated the two-color logic in illustration and created a hand-written lettering. The back cover has a similar layout and representation logic of the author's photo.

Also, here we only have 12 chapters instead of 15 as in the previous book, but these were more challenging, because I was working with the male body figure, which was new for me.

The important thing that we use a pantone, not a CMYK print for illustrations, so each image was split into three channels:
