I'm averaging four or five years per at this point.
The first volume, it took me a long time. How long has it been since you first started "Berlin?"Probably when I first started thinking about it was like 1998 or 1997. It just means I've got one last long haul. CBR: It has to feel good to realize you're two-thirds done with "Berlin."Jason Lutes: That's big for me. But the story spirals out through the city, bringing in dozens of characters as their lives intersect.Now two-thirds of the way through the massive project, Lutes spoke with CBR News about "Berlin," his creative process, and what's in store for the final eight issues.
At the center of the story are Kurt and Marthe, two progressives seeking love as various political forces vie for control of post-World War I Germany. The first eight issues were collected as "Berlin: City of Stones," an the second collection, "City of Smoke," will be released this month. For writer-artist Jason Lutes, the more interesting story was the largely overshadowed failure of the Weimar Republic and the transformation of Berlin from one of Europe's most progressive cities to a center of evil and repression.A decade ago, Lutes began chronicling that story of Berlin before the war in the 24-part comics series "Berlin," from Drawn & Quarterly.
When most people think of Germany and World War II, their thoughts go straight to Hitler and the Nazi party.
