Enki Bilal is recognized as one of the world’s most talented graphic artists. His best selling graphic novels are published in more than fifteen languages around the world. In THE CHAOS EFFECT, a collection consisting of THE BLACK ORDER BRIGADE and THE HUNTING PARTY, Bilal collaborates once again with TOWNSCAPES writer Pierre Christin to chronicle two thoughtful, yet violent, tales of Cold War politics and Old World terrorism.

In THE BLACK ORDER BRIGADE, a ruthless group of fascist soldiers from the Spanish Civil War known as the Black Order Brigade resurfaces with a series of terrorist massacres. It’s up to Jefferson Pritchard and his fellow soldiers, who thought they had destroyed the Brigade decades ago, to come out of retirement and put a stop to the Black Order Brigade’s bloody agenda once and for all.

THE HUNTING PARTY is set against a frozen landscape where ten men representing all the corners of the Warsaw Pact gather to take part in a weekend of hunting and reminiscing. However, their old suspicions and bloody histories constantly hover like an unwanted guests. Soon they find themselves in a deadly game of murder and political intrigue.

“Pierre Christin and Enki Bilal remain two of Europe's most important creators, and THE HUNTING PARTY remains their best collaboration, and one of the most important works of European comics.”
--Warren Ellis, writer GLOBAL FREQUENCY, PLANETARY, THE AUTHORITY
