Someone must have been slandering Joseph K, because one morning, without having done anything wrong, he was suddenly arrested.?The Trial is a graphic adaptation of Franz Kafka? famous novel, illustrated by one of France? leading graphic artists, Chantal Montellier. Montellier brilliantly captures both the menace and the humor of Kafka? utterly unique masterwork. This darkly humorous tale follows Joseph K, who is arrested one morning for unexplained reasons and forced to struggle against an absurd judicial process.

In its stark portrayal of an authoritarian bureaucracy trampling over the lives of its estranged citizens, The Trial is as relevant today as ever.
