An Opera Written in a Concentration Camp Is Being Turned Into a Genre-Bending Graphic Novel
Death Strikes: The Emperor of Atlantisthis fall. Like the opera that inspired it,will envision Kien and Ullmann’s dystopian world where the unsunken Atlantis has become a tyrannical fascist entity, declaring war on the world around it.
