Description

Collecting two stories by legendary creator Enki Bilal and Pierre Christin, Century's End is an exploration of oppression, terrorism and political manoeuvring.

As the 20th Century draws to a close, so too does the Eastern European Communist era... but with it brings terrorist attacks, ageing militant groups coming out of retirement and those who will stop at nothing to preserve their way of life!

Stunningly realised in Bilal's incomparable style, The Brigade of the Black Order and The Hunting Party examine the question: How far are we willing to go for our ideals?

"Titan deserves commendation for this updated modern translation that reads even better than the 1989 Catalan version. A great addition to their emerging catalog of English-language editions of European albums." - ICv2
