The Adventures of the Mad Tsar

by Tarek Ben Yakhlef, Lionel Chouin (Illustrator)

It all starts in the capital. To be closer to his subjects, the Tsar, dressed in peasant clothes, strolls through the streets of St. Petersburg. Disaster strikes! The Tsar is captured by a group of conspirators wishing to use his uncanny "resemblance" to the Tsar (himself) for sinister ends. What fate awaits the true Tsar, now a simple peasant, in the hands of his enemies? And most importantly, what do they have in store for him next? Originally published in France in three volumes, The Adventures of the Mad Tsar is now collected in one 146-page color graphic novel in English by Tarek & Lionel Chouin.

[Reagan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Some fun little stories about a tsar trying to run his country in the face of unrest. It doesn't get very dark, though, mostly just silly. Reminds me of Tintin a bit.
