V grafickém románu Mistr a Markétka, pořízeném podle Bulgakovovy předlohy, sledujeme systematické řádění ďábla Wolanda a jeho suity v Moskvě dvacátých a třicátých let. V chaotickém víru událostí se ocitají zejména dva lidé: Mistr, zlomený kritikou svého románu o Pilátu Pontském, a Markétka, s níž má ďábel vlastní plány. Bulgakovův román, který mohl ve své vlasti vyjít až po pětadvaceti letech, líčí fantastické události s makabrózním humorem, který se neztrácí ani v jeho komiksové adaptaci. Přeloženo z anglické adaptace ruského originálu.

One hot spring, the devil arrives in Moscow, Accompanied by a retinue that includes a beautiful naked witch and an immense talking black cat with a fondness of chess and vodka. The visitors quickly wreak havoc in a city that refuses to believe in either God or Satan. But they also bring peace to two unhappy Muscovites: one is the master, a writer pilloried for daring to write a novel about Christ and Pontius Pilate; the other is Margairta, who loves the Master so deeply that she is willing to go to hell for him. What ensues is a novel of inexhaustible energy, humor, and philisophical depth, a work whose nuances emerge for the first time in Hugh Aplin's English version.
