Fantastic portrait of Berlin at the height of the Weimar Republic in graphic novel format. At 550 pages it goes into detail, we follow several characters through tumultuous years of hardship, communist revolts, increasing antisemitism and the rise of the Nazi party. Families torn apart by politics, a pacifist journalist, an art student trying to find herself, a woman in men clothes, their fates interspersed with thought bubbles of everyday people, giving the pulse of the time.

Obviously this gives off strong Babylon Berlin vibes.
