The fourth volume of Corbeyran and Le Roux's acclaimed WWI series brings readers to April 1915 with "La tranchée perdue" — The Lost Trench. Le Roux's cover draws you straight into the mud and tension of the Western Front, where a squad of French poilus in their distinctive blue-grey greatcoats and kepis press forward through a cramped, fortified trench, rifles at the ready and faces set with grim determination. It's a visceral, human portrait of soldiers bracing for whatever lies ahead, rendered with the atmospheric detail that makes this Delcourt series such a compelling window into the First World War.
