The story of the Maš�n brothers and their band waging guerilla war against the Communist regime in the early 1950s could be the most dramatic Czech tale of the 20th century. After their activities in Czechoslovakia, these five young men headed west – facing off against twenty thousand East German Volkspolizei and shooting their way to freedom. <p> In the novel So Far, So Good, Jan Nov�k wrote the story like a thrilling Czech Western and won the Magnesia Litera prize for Best Book of the Year. Now he and the artist Jarom�r 99 have created a dramatic and visually arresting graphic novel in Jarom�r 99’s unique and specific style of noir. After the runaway success in Czechia of their previous collaboration, Z�topek, the authors return with an even more explosive comic book.</p>
