Harrowing and graphic re-telling of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster from the creator of George Orwell's 1984 graphic novel.
This graphic and harrowing account of nuclear catastrophe at Chernobyl in April 1986 follows the dozens of human stories cruelly affected by disaster.
From the engineers and firefighters to doctors and soldiers, the children and families in the surrounding towns and villages to the animals in the forests - they all make up the story of Chernobyl, a mosaic of victims who paid the price for distant politicians’ ambitions and arrogance.
Matyáš Namai studied graphic design at the Škola Michael in Prague. He has contributed to the magazines ABC (The Master of Shaolin, The Millennium Thief) and Playboy (Ironic Applause). His comics and graphic novels aim to sensitively reveal the psychology of their characters, using a filmic sense of dramatic editing and a feel for detail. Matyáš’ favourite hobby is roasting bacon over a fire.
