From beloved Congolese comics creator Barly Baruti and Belgian
comics critic Thierry Bellefroid, translated from the original
French by Batchelder Award-winning translator Ivanka Hahnenberger A
Harlem gangster’s trip to Central Africa to attend the legendary
1974 Ali-Foreman "Rumble in the Jungle" boxing match becomes a
one-way ticket to the seedy underground of Zaire—complete with
espionage, murder, and a communist plot to overthrow Zaire's
infamous President Mobutu. When Ernest, a low-level gangster from
Harlem, wins tickets to travel to Zaire to attend the "Rumble in
the Jungle," the now-legendary bout between Muhammad Ali and George
Foreman, he’s eager to reconnect with his African roots and
escape the ruthless gang leaders he's indebted to back home. But in
Zaire, Ernest becomes entangled in an Angolan coup against the
country's embattled president Mobutu Sese Seko—inspired by Che
Guevara himself—and soon realizes that Zaire may hold even more
dangers for him than Harlem ever could. A Cold-War-era thriller set
against the backdrop of a landmark moment in sports history, Chaos
in Kinshasafeatures Barly Baruti’s characteristic art and Thierry
Bellefroid's punchy dialogue woven in with the elements of a great
gangster story—sex, spies, bribes, and murder. A thrill ride
through a pivotal moment in Cold War, African, and sports history.
