Next month First Second Books will launch Accidental Czar: The Life and Lies of Vladimir Putin. The new graphic novel biography comes from author Andrew S. Weiss and artist Brian “Box” Brown. Ahead of the ebook’s launch, The Beat is happy to current an unique excerpt from the graphic novel, which digs into the picture that Putin has created for himself world wide.
Here’s how First Second describes Accidental Czar:
In the West’s collective creativeness, Vladimir Putin is a devious cartoon villain, always plotting and scheming to destroy his enemies across the globe and in Ukraine. But how did an undistinguished mid-level KGB officer develop into one of the vital highly effective leaders in Russian historical past? And how a lot of Putin’s tough-guy persona is a calculated efficiency?
Accidental Czar is the primary graphic novel for author Andrew S. Weiss, and the newest First Second launch for Brian “Box” Brown. Brown’s earlier non-fiction books embrace the Andy Kaufman biography Is This Guy For Real? and the online game historical past Tetris: The Games People Play.
Check out the unique excerpt under. Accidental Czar: The Life and Lies of Vladimir Putin is due out in shops and digitally on Tuesday, November eighth.
