Within minutes of starting to read this graphic novel, I knew I wanted to make the movie version. The narrative by writer Nury and artist Robin captures a turbulent and disturbing period with solid visual storytelling.

This work stands out as one of the better political comedies in recent years, expertly handled by its creative team. If you enjoy scathing black comedy with depth, this is a must-read. It appeals to both history enthusiasts and casual readers alike, offering a fascinating examination of insanity and treachery. Visually striking and unexpectedly cinematic, it delivers a fantastic satirical take on the events surrounding Stalin's death.
