BERLIN TP COMPLETE

For twenty years, Jason Lutes quietly built one of the great achievements of modern comics.

Berlin is a sweeping historical epic set during the final years of the Weimar Republic, as democracy frays and fascism tightens its grip. Through the lives of journalists, artists, workers, socialites, Jews, radicals, and true believers, Lutes captures a metropolis at its cultural peak--and on the brink of collapse.

At the center are unforgettable characters: Marthe Muller, fleeing personal grief; Kurt Severing, an idealistic reporter losing faith in truth itself; families divided by poverty and politics. Around them, the city becomes a living force--its smoky salons, queer nightclubs, crumbling apartments, and bustling train stations rendered with meticulous research and emotional precision.

Widely hailed as a masterpiece and named a Best Book of 2018 by the Washington Post, The Guardian, and the New York Public Library, Berlin is as devastatingly relevant as it is beautifully crafted. An electrifying portrait of a society sleepwalking toward authoritarianism--and one of the high-water marks of the graphic novel form.
