(3) YA A grim tone governs Rehr's graphic-novel "docudrama" of the man who assassinated Austria's Archduke Franz Ferdinand, thus precipitating WWI. Princip, sent to study in Sarajevo, fails at school but becomes heatedly engaged with anarchist political philosophy. Rehr successfully shows the tangle of alliances, imperial dominions, and grueling poverty furnishing Princip's rage and gloom; gray borders and dark graphics deepen the effect of misery.
