So Far So Good

The gripping true account of three Czech men—known as the Man brothers—whose audacious acts of anti-Communist resistance and daring escape to West Berlin in 1953 ignited the largest manhunt ever seen in the Eastern Bloc. Set in the early 1950s, this tale could well be the most intense Czech narrative of the century, as these young patriots engaged in a guerrilla war against the oppressive Communist regime. Following their resistance activities in Czechoslovakia, they embarked on a perilous journey westward, confronting a formidable force of twenty thousand East German Volkspolizei and fighting fiercely for their freedom.

"So Far, So Good" by Jan Novák captures this thrilling adventure in the style of a Czech Western. The novel's compelling narrative earned Novák the prestigious Magnesia Litera prize for Best Book of the Year. Building on the remarkable success of their previous work with illustrator Jaromír 99, "Ztopek," the creators reunite to deliver an even more powerful story in comic book form.
