This inventive historical graphic novel is illustrated entirely with period engravings of the time.

The Paris Commune was a radical socialist, anti-religious, and revolutionary government that ruled Paris from March 18 to May 28, 1871. It governed Paris for two months, until it was suppressed by the regular French Army during "La semaine sanglante" ("The Bloody Week") beginning on May 21, 1871.
