NBM’s fall catalog will include an unusual graphic novel about a little-known episode in Ukrainian history, the terror famine of 1932-33. Red Harvest: A Graphic Novel of the Terror Famine in Soviet Ukraine, by Michael Cherkas, is a fictional story based on the real experiences of Mykola Kovalenko during the man-made famine, an event known to history as the Holodomor, in which over 4 million Ukrainians died. Kovalenko, who immigrated to Canada, was the only member of his family to survive. Cherkas is the co-creator of the indie classic The Silent Invasion, which is also published by NBM (see “Upcoming NBM Releases”). Red Harvest will be published in November 2023 as a 144-page, 6” x 9”, black and white hardcover with an MSRP of $19.99.
Other Fall 2023 releases will include a graphic biography of Prince, a new volume of Lewis Trondheim, Joann Sfar, and Boulet’s D&D spoof, and the action-packed finale of Zombillenium.
Prince in Comics, by Tony Lourenco and Nicolas Finet, is a mix of comics and articles retelling the life of the multifaceted performer, composer, and author, charting his rise from his turbulent Minneapolis childhood through his years of striving and success.
