Best of 2018 nods from the Washington Post. , New York Public Library, Globe and Mail,. the Guardian. , and more. "The magic in Berlin. is in the way Lutes conjures, out of old newspapers and photographs, a city so remote from him in time and space. [Berlin. has] an ending so electrifying that I gasped. "-New York Times Book Review. During the past two decades, Jason Lutes has quietly created one of the masterworks of the graphic novel golden age. Berlin. is one of the high-water marks of the medium: rich in its well-researched historical detail, compassionate in its character studies, and as timely as ever in its depiction of a society slowly awakening to the stranglehold of fascism. Berlin. is an intricate look at the fall of the Weimar Republic through the eyes of its citizens-Marthe Müller, a young woman escaping the memory of a brother killed in World War I, Kurt Severing, an idealistic journalist losing faith in the printed word as fascism and extremism take hold; the Brauns, a family torn apart by poverty and politics. Lutes weaves these characters' lives into the larger fabric of a city slowly ripping apart. The city itself is the central protagonist in this historical fiction. Lavish salons, crumbling sidewalks, dusty attics, and train stations: all these places come alive in Lutes' masterful hand. Weimar Berlin was the world's metropolis, where intellectualism, creativity, and sensuous liberal values thrived, and Lutes maps its tragic, inevitable decline. Devastatingly relevant and beautifully told, Berlin. is one of the great epics of the comics medium.
