Volume 3 - 1st printing. "Book 3: City of Light!" Collects Berlin (1996) #17-22.
Story and art by Jason Lutes.
The third and final act of Jason Lutes' historical fiction about the Weimar Republic begins with Hitler arriving in Berlin. With the National Socialist party now controlling Parliament, the citizenry becomes even more divided. Lutes steps back from the larger political upheaval, using the intertwining lives of a small group of German citizens to zero in on the rise of fascism and how swiftly it can replace democracy. The idle rich, the naive bourgeoisie, and the struggling lower classes: all seek meaning in the warring political factions dividing their nation.
Softcover, 176 pages, B&W. Mature Readers Cover price $24.95.
