			        		&quot;Within minutes of starting to read the graphic novel, I knew I wanted to make the movie version.&quot; - Armando Iannucci, writer/director (The Death of Stalin, Veep, In The Loop, The Thick of It)&quot;Read the Death of Stalin and just loved it. I started laughing the moment he died!&quot; - David Mandel, showrunner of HBO&apos;s Veep, writer of Curb Your Enthusiasm, Seinfeld, and SNL&quot;Oozing with sleazy, appalling chicanery, the narrative by writer Nury (I Am Legion) and artist Robin (Death to the Tsar) captures a turbulent and disturbing period with solid visual storytelling. Robin depicts the sordid goings-on with elegant caricatures that give a clear view of the complete and utter awfulness of the cast, adding enough historical flair to nail down the era. It&#x2019;s proof of the theory that tragedy plus time equals (very dark) comedy.&quot; - Publishers Weekly&quot;Juicy and engrossing, this story speaks of a style in political machinations going back centuries and inspiring both revulsion and twisted admiration.&quot; - Library Journal&quot;It&#x2019;s a fun take on history that&#x2019;ll have you researching what&#x2019;s true and what&#x2019;s close to the truth. But the key is, through all the weird, the story is beyond entertaining. 9 out of 10&quot; - Graphic Policy&quot;One of the better political comedies to grace the comics page in recent years... expertly handled by writer Fabien Nury and artists Theirry Robin and Lorien Aureyre&quot; - Vulture&quot;If you like scathing black comedy with a lot on its mind, you can&apos;t do better than The Death of Stalin. 9 out of 10&quot; - Capeless Crusader It doesn&#x2019;t matter if you&#x2019;re into historical events, everyone needs to pick this novel up.&quot; - Yelling About Comics&quot;An entertaining novel&quot; - Flickering Myth&quot;A wonderful political thriller with some insight to the state of the USSR at the time of Stalin&#x2019;s death&quot; - Rogues Portal&quot;A fascinating examination of insanity and treachery&quot; - Multiversity Comics&quot;The book is visually striking and unexpectedly cinematic&quot; - Shelf Abuse&quot;A&#xA0;fantastic, satirical take on the course of events.&quot; - Grovel

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Who Will Come Out on Top?
        
*by A***N on December 16, 2017*

I bought this graphic novel because of the film that was made based on the book. Whereas the film was made into a black comedy, there is no humor here, just horror.The book deals with the jostling for power between Stalin's henchmen upon his death. Of all of them, it is Beria that comes out as being pure evil, though the book fails to point out that the others were also evil, it was simply a matter of degree between them.
  

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absurd but not Comical
        
*by L***N on October 2, 2017*

As a graphic novel, this has very interesting art and some nice sequences. Due to the length, It does have difficultly dealing with the large number of characters, and the last chapter is rushed. I would warn that this novel is very much in line with the dark/lurid tone of some European comics rather than the farce/broad satire you might expect from promotional material for the movie based on it. There is amusement to be had at the many absurd elements but it's never really comical.
  

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dark humor to an extreme that is true to Stalin's Russia
        
*by P***D on May 30, 2018*

Passing judgement on Fabien Nury and Thierry Robin’s graphic novel. The Death of Stalin may be as much a study of the psychology of the reviewer as the quality of the book. This is a fictionalized version of life inside the belly of one of modern history’s most insidiously evil places and people. One has to question what it means to say that you liked a book like this. I am siding with the folks who call this black humor. Only it is blacker. Black like the sun had never shone.The Story line has a firm anchor in historic events and real people. However the authors are clear that they intend The Death of Stalin as fiction. Even as fiction it is not that far off from the strange actual events and people as portrayed.Given that this was a world of state directed arbitrary terror, and measured political intrigue, what does it mean to say you laughed at these craven people and these violent events? Is there a message in the contrived and genuinely believing leaders who so willingly put doctrine, even a twisted and corrupted version of doctrine over life and any retention of human dignity?In the opening pages, Soviet Russian Dictator is cursed by the wife of one of his victims. He falls to the ground. Before doctors are called or any thought is given to the possibility he may still be alive, the members of the Supreme Central Committee meet to decide on who is left among the recently purged Moscow medical community who can be allowed near the dying beloved<?> leader.The played out subtext of every word and action among these men, is, who is to assume power, under what terms and with who allowed to survive? Beria immediately executes his long planned machinations  to either assume the Chair of the Soviet, or at least be the master string puller. Nikita Khrushchev lumbers into the maneuvering, but always seems to be behind Beria. Molotov comes close to being the one honorable man, in that he is to the end motivated by his abstract political doctrine. General Zhukov, is not a member of the Committee, but as head of the Army he is effectively the King maker. The rest of the Committee fall into camps, but as characters they do not appear as rounded figure.This lack of depth in so many characters tends to make it hard to accept the too speedily reached resolution. This resolution is explained much better in the movie. Never explained is the  importance of Stalin’s Children, both now adults neither, of no obvious consequence and both treated as key pawns in the power struggle.The back drop to Stalin death is the continuation of the Stalinist State as a place where people are murdered on less than whim.The art work on character faces is not well standardized. It is  appropriate that the panels are drawn from awkward and unsettling angles. The muted, dark earth tones are all effective and again, appropriate.There is something hard to read in The Death of Stalin; given how dark the place and time, but the humor, draws from the extremes that was this place and time.
