Berlin: A Work of Historical Fiction by Jason Lutes

Jason Lutes’s Berlin is a sweeping, meticulously researched historical fiction series from Drawn & Quarterly, begun in 2018 and still unfolding. Lutes serves as both writer and artist, crafting a richly detailed narrative set in the twilight of Germany’s Weimar Republic, following an interwoven cast of characters navigating the city’s social, political, and artistic upheavals. The series stands as a landmark of graphic storytelling for its immersive, novelistic depth and its patient, human-scale portrait of a society sliding toward catastrophe.
