David Foldvari was born in Budapest, Hungary, but has lived in the UK for the last 20 years. His work often tackles issues of alienation, identity and belonging, formed by a preoccupation with his eastern European roots, combined with his experience of growing up in the UK.

David’s work is bold, darkly humorous and often political in tone, his considered and energetic draftsmanship having led to a prolific output both personally and commercially. Some of his previous clients include the New York Times, Greenpeace, Random House, Penguin Books, Dazed & Confused and Island Records. (Bigactive.com)

Vermont gives some details about the story featured in this issue:

Sorry to report that in the story inside, which reprints this cover, she is the teacher, not the dude in the tweed jacket. She teaches an adult education class at night (basic arithmetic, according to the blackboard: 127 X 8 = ?) and the guy is one of her new students. He stalks her and beats up another guy on her behalf; by the end of the second class, he proposes marriage in front of everyone and she accepts, just like in real life.
