Airborne 44 #1-2

A striking young woman in a red scarf and brown coat stands front and center, flanked by two helmeted WWII-era soldiers whose faces loom large in the background — Jarbinet's cover immediately establishes the human cost and tension at the heart of wartime Europe. This collected edition brings together the first two volumes of *Airborne 44*, a Franco-Belgian series that places ordinary lives against the extraordinary upheaval of the 1944 campaign. If you're drawn to war narratives told with intimacy and careful craft, this 2014 France Loisirs edition is a compelling place to start.
