Overview

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

Stunningly realized 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?

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

About the Author

Pierre Christin in a writer born at Saint-Mandé in 1938. After graduating from the Sorbonne, Christin pursued graduate studies in political science at SciencesPo and became a professor of French literature at the University of Utah, Salt Lake City. His first comics story, Le Rhum du Punch, illustrated by his childhood friend Jean-Claude Mézières, was published in 1966 in Pilote magazine. That year he again collaborated with Mézières to create the science-fiction series Valérian and Laureline for Pilote. He has also written several other comics one-shots, including The City That Didn't Exist (La Ville qui n'existe pas).

Enki Bilal was born in the former Yugoslavia in 1951, and moved to France aged 10. At age 14, he met Rene Goscinny, and began to focus his attention on a serious art career in comics, starting with strips in Pilote magazine. The Nikopol Trilogy, his most famous work, took over a decade to finally complete, and has been released as both a videogame, called Nikopol: Secrets of the Immortals and a film, directed by Bilal, called Immortal, starring Charlotte Rampling.
