A cautionary tale for current events, LIEBESTRASSE is a quick read that is perfect for those who enjoy LGBT works or historical fiction and highlights an oft overlooked element of Nazi persecution.

This was heart-wrenching! I cried at the ending. My heart aches for the lives that were lost. This is a beautiful piece of art and you should read it if you get a chance!

Lovely, if a bit disjointed and not quite fully fleshed as a story. The art is great but the story needed a little bit more work.

Another gorgeous and queer graphic novel that I devoured in one sitting. This one, however, is much darker, both in palette and theme. An American comes to Germany during the time of the Weimar Republic, between the two world wars. He learns the beautiful of the underground queer and art scenes, becoming more and more involved, even as the danger of the Nazi party's rising power continues to grow.
