As many of you know I am editing a graphic novel about the Kursk submarine.  The Kursk by Sasha Janowicz is the graphic novel adaptation of The Kursk. K-141 Kursk was an Oscar-II class nuclear-powered cruise missile submarine of the Russian Navy, lost with all hands when it sank in the Barents Sea on 12 August 2000.   Here is a few of the pages illustrated by Andrea Montano.  Sasha Janowicz is an Australian musician, actor and playwright of Belorussian extraction.  Born the Soviet Union, Sasha spent six years interviewing Russian Naval Officials, Sailors and their families.  This is their story.
