This review is from: Orient Gateway (Paperback)
Hungarian Rhapsody is the first of the Max Friedman series but that was published by catalan com., about this book - people whoever read this book already could say a very ordinary with a very good art but I could say we should not expect actions in all the books we read, this is more interesting in its own way as this is a period subject a pre WWII atmosphere and that is exactly we will feel while reading this book. This is a stand alone (not the like the No Pasaran 3 Vol series)enough art to finish the book in a go. Overall very very good in its own way

Lovely to Look At, But Overly Complicated,
By A. Ross (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Orient Gateway (Paperback)
I first discovered Italian cartoonist Giardino through his series A Jew in Communist Prague. This volume is the first in a series about spy Max Friedman, whose adventures continue in the waning days of the Spanish Civil War in No Parasan! Friedman is a former officer in the International Brigade whose current allegiances are rather murky. Indeed, the whole story, which takes place in Istanbul and concerns a defecting Soviet aeronautics scientist is rather murky. The moves and countermoves of various Soviet intelligence factions, a French intelligence operative, exiled White Russians, and a beautiful Hungarian woman, all gets too confusing. As in his other books, Giardino's strong artwork,vividly captures hustle and bustle of Istanbul and is more compelling than the spy story.
