s4story -- ST. JOHN'S, NL, CANADA — Black Panel Press is proud to announce the upcoming release of Putin's Fortune, a nonfiction graphic novel by historian Yvonnick Denoël and illustrator Gildas Java. Out March 10, 2026, this darkly comedic and investigative work delves into one of the most staggering fortunes in modern history—that of Vladimir Putin.

Putin's Fortune traces the shadowy network of money, power, and corruption that shaped post-Soviet Russia, from the fall of the USSR to the rise of Putin's presidency. Based on real investigations, interviews, and archival research, the book follows the journey from the streets of St. Petersburg to the halls of the Kremlin, exposing the inner workings of Russia's new oligarchy and the methods by which Putin and his allies amassed unimaginable wealth.
