Vassili Alexandrovitch Chevchenko, a veteran of the October Revolution and a dignitary of the Soviet Union, has organized a bear hunt that turns out to be nothing less than the setting for a political assassination worthy of the great years of the Soviet regime.
The masterpiece of the Christin–Bilal collaboration, the epilogue to a six-album partnership begun in 1975 with La Croisière des oubliés. Four years after the extraordinary Les Phalanges de l’ordre noir, Partie de chasse represents the high point of their collaboration and a legendary album of contemporary graphic novels.
