BERLIN HC COMPLETE EDITION

(W) Jason Lutes (A) Jason Lutes (CA) Jason Lutes

During the past two decades, Jason Lutes has quietly created one of the masterworks of the graphic novel golden age. Serialized in twenty-two issues, collected in two volumes, with a third to be co-released at the time of this omnibus, Berlin has over 100,000 copies in print. An intricate look at the fall of the Weimar Republic through the eyes of its citizens, Berlin will be one of the high-water marks of the medium: rich in its researched historical detail; compassio NAte in its character studies; and as timely as ever in its depiction of a society slowly awakening to the stranglehold of fascism.

BERLIN TP #3

CITY OF LIGHT

(W) Jason Lutes (A) Jason Lutes (CA) Jason Lutes

The third and fi NAl act of Jason Lutes' historical fiction about the Weimar Republic begins with Hitler arriving in Berlin. With the NAtio NAl Socialist party now controlling Parliament, the citizenry becomes even more divided. Lutes steps back from the larger political upheaval, using the intertwining lives of a small group of German citizens to zero in on the rise of fascism and how swiftly it can replace democracy. The idle rich, the NAive bourgeoisie, and the struggling lower classes: all seek meaning in the warring political factions dividing their NAtion.
