The Prague Coup / Jean-Luc Fromental art by Miles Hyman, translated by Lara Vergnaud, 112 pages
A fantastic Cold War graphic novel featuring Graham Greene looking for movie ideas in occupied Czech capitol. Espionage filled with spies with questionable allegiances, it is hard to tell the good guys from the bad guys. The art work is masterful and does a lot to convey the "noir" feel. The pages at the end tell the real life story of Greene and his work and Elizabeth, his guide in this book. These characters are based on real people. If the cold war is of interest, don't miss this book.
