    Chris Bellamy

  • Publication Details

    Book, 1st ed, Alfred A. Knopf, 2007

  • Description

    Bellamy charts the early gains of the German army, whose advances into Soviet territory were brought to a halt in Moscow in the winter of 1941, and whose defeat was sealed in the Battle of Stalingrad, the most merciless campaign of the bloodiest front. He shows how Soviet men?and women?joined to fight a war whose casualties were later steeply underestimated by their government, and how even the true death toll, at 27 million, does not take into account the millions of lives on both sides that lay shattered in the aftermath.

Laika

  • Laika

  • Attribution

    Nick Abadzis ; color by Hilary Sycamore

  • Publication Details

    Book, 1st ed, First Second, 2007

  • Links

  • Description

    Laika was the abandoned puppy destined to become Earth’s first space traveler. Along with Laika, there is Korolev, once a political prisoner, now a driven engineer at the top of the Soviet space program, and Yelena, the lab technician responsible for Laika’s health and life. Laika’s story will speak straight to your heart. Questions for Nick Abadzis Jeff VanderMeer for Amazon.com: What inspired you to pick this particular topic for a graphic novel? In 2002, new information came to light about the Sputnik II mission and specifically Laika’s death. Originally, I did have an idea of doing three books: Laika would be the first, Gagarin the second, and a full-on comic strip biography of Korolev [the driven engineer on the project] would be the final part that would bind together events seen in the first two. All that said, it’d be disingenuous to suggest that, in dealing with a true story that involves dogs and their owners (even if they happen to be scientists in a Soviet cosmodog program), there wouldn’t be a bit of emotion. But there’s also the harsh reality of the time, the place and the confluence of events that put Laika into space. Abadzis: I’m currently working on a new graphic novel for older readers called Skin Trouble, which is also for First Second. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)
