Champs d'honneur #4

Part of Delcourt's Champs d'honneur series, this fourth volume brings writer Gloris and artist Mouclier together to recount the Battle of Camerone — April 1863 — one of the most storied engagements in French Foreign Legion history. The cover plunges you immediately into the desperate heart of the fighting: a handful of soldiers, rifles in hand, make a last stand inside a burning structure as flames and smoke engulf the beams above them and the enemy presses in from all sides. It's a visceral, painterly image that sets the tone for what promises to be an intense and honorable account of sacrifice.
