An incredible, but true story of the atomic bomb!

Alcant and Laurent-Frederic Bolle recreate historical events that led to the emergence of the first weapon of mass destruction based on reliable information. Almost five hundred pages examine a twelve-year period associated with intensive research and practical tests of the unpeaceful atom. The documentary style of the novel is emphasized by illustrations. Artist Deni Rodier combines the aesthetics of 1930s detective comics with the detailing characteristic of the works of Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol. In terms of authenticity and artistic elaboration, "Bomb" is compared to Craig Mazin's series "Chernobyl," and in terms of impact — to Art Spiegelman's "Maus."
