Anna Wants to Jump

Anna Wants to Jump is a story set in the Czech Republic of the 1990s, an era full of changes in personal and professional lives. Twenty-seven-year old Anna, who feels frustrated by her present life, coincidently gets involved in a thriller adventure with a young man who witnessed a murder and is being chased by the Russian mafia. Through him, Anna learns about the secret history of her family. The final firefight is also joined by bodyguards of President Havel, whom the runaway couple happens to meet when he is walking near his Hrádeček cottage, close to the Krkonoše Mountains. In her first graphic novel for adults, Lomová chose a black-and-white style and two drawing techniques: while most of the book is rendered in pen and ink, while passages of dreams and memories are drawn in pencil.
