The Saint Barbara graphic novel was published in spring 2018 by Lipnik (Karolina Voňková). It returns to a media storm triggered in the Czech society by the so called Kuřim case in 2007.

Layers of the complicated story are differentiated by art styles.

The book won the best book and best art awards at the Czech comics awards Muriel 2018. I was also nominated for best illustration at Czech Grand Design for it.
