Inhaltsangabe:
The story of the Mašín brothers and their band waging guerilla war against the Communist regime in the early 1950s could be the most dramatic Czech tale of the 20th century. After their activities in Czechoslovakia, these five young men headed west – facing off against twenty thousand East German Volkspolizei and shooting their way to freedom.
In the novel So Far, So Good, Jan Novák wrote the story like a thrilling Czech Western and won the Magnesia Litera prize for Best Book of the Year. Now he and the artist Jaromír 99 have created a dramatic and visually arresting graphic novel in Jaromír 99’s unique and specific style of noir. After the runaway success in Czechia of their previous collaboration, Zátopek, the authors return with an even more explosive comic book.
Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Jan Novak (b.1956) is a Czech- American novelist, dramatist, scriptwriter, translator. His family escaped from Czechoslovakia in 1969, first going to an Austrian refugee camp and finally moving to US in 1970. Now he lives in Prague, though he often returns to America. His books have been translated into several languages and he is the recipient of major literary prizes both in Czechia and States. In 2020 he published a controversial literary biography, titled 'Kundera, His Czech Life and Times.'
Jaromír 99 is a Czech singer, songwriter, and artist who divides his time between the worlds of music and comics. He collaborated with Jaroslav Rudiš on the comics trilogy Alois Nebel (2003). He also worked as a co-screenwriter and artist on its film adaptation (2011), which was awarded Best Animated Film by the European Film Academy. He won a Muriel Award for his comic strip Bomber (2007) and he adapted Kafka's The Castle (2013) as a graphic novel for SelfMadeHero, and received the nomination for the prestigious Eisner Award.
