Urgent alert for anyone who fears the rise of facists, the rule of dictators, and the rearing of their ugly heads!
Dear Reader,
How does a dictator gain ascendancy? What circumstances allow a tyrannical figure to co-opt, coerce, and come to force, seizing hold of a country and its people?
From the ABC's of Adolf, Brezhnev and Castro, Sadam to Stalin, Mao to Mussolini and even overlords like Big Brother and Sauron himself, dictators have conquered both real and fictional worlds, nightmares for the day and night. Stories of their reigns are often revealed, but when the backgrounds of these dictators are told, the tale of who they were and who they would become, we may discover what makes them tick, what their later decisions will be...
To understand better, we must learn from one of the most secretive totalitarian regimes in the world.
Several despots come to mind... Pol Pot, Castro, Putin, and right at the top of the list... Kim Jong Un, the third in line of North Korea's notorious Kim clan.
Here we look at the ongoing sedition of this Hungry dictator through the eyes of his people.
From propaganda engines to "trusted" news sources, many of us will never know what really goes on in the Dark Kingdom. THE GREAT SUCCESSOR provides a rare glimpse at the new face (and belly) of leadership in the North.
The Great Successor provides real world insight to the background of the young leader of the most secretive dictatorship on earth. Taking the lead at only thirty, Kim Jong Un could have a long future as a head of state, he could toe the line of his father's Military First Philosophy to the bitter end (and the invariable ruin of the state) or he could herald a new beginning of reform (in whatever form it will take), and lead his people out of the dark...

The Great Successor hopes to answer:
Who is this third Kim? Where did he come from? Should we be afraid of him?
At only 30, Kim Jong-Un could have a long future as head of state. He could tow the line of the ruinous rule of 'Military First' or he could herald a new beginning of reform & lead his people out of the darkness…
Will he make an effort to transform? Make amends, become friends? Or will he strike, sudden like a storm?
What's in store for the future of North Korea? Only time will tell, but The Great Successor provides some insight to the background of the young leader of the most secretive dictatorship on earth.

Perhaps this is the most serious and thought-provoking comic book that I've ever read. Reading or listening to any news about the self-isolated North Korea is sporadic at best. This book gives us insight into the North Korea dictator's past, present, and the sentiments towards him and his ruling. Readers will also learn about Jong Un's half older brother, Kim Jong Nam, who was once widely considered to be the next leader of North Korea. Jong Nam's capitalist nature and his desire for reformation of the country, however, were opposed by his father. His much-publicized botched attempt to secretly enter Japan using a fake passport and visit Tokyo Disneyland in 2001 was his ultimate downfall with his father and North Korea's elite.
The illustrated feelings of the North and South Koreans regarding the succession give us a rare and informative glimpse into this particular event. All in all, this is a great read and ultimately, the North Koreans are hoping for a better future. Hopefully that day will come soon.
