Cap sur Ormuz et le Journal de la Marine nationale #[nn]

Published by Éditions Fleurus in 1988 under their Horizons imprint, this Franco-Belgian album plunges readers into high-seas military tension with a cover that says it all: a naval vessel cuts through open waters while two military helicopters swoop in dramatically overhead, suggesting a coordinated operation in the strategic Strait of Hormuz. The partnership with *Le Journal de la Marine Nationale* lends the whole thing an air of authentic naval procedure that sets it apart from purely fictional adventure comics. A sharp pick for fans of military hardware and maritime action rendered with confident, detailed linework.
