Les Échappés #1

A sweeping aerial panorama sets the stage for this 2013 Soleil series opener from Zytka and Seigneuret — the cover plunges readers into a chaotic wartime sky filled with military gliders and transport aircraft, while tracers and explosions light up the darkness below. Peering through the glass nose of the lead glider, a crew of soldiers braces for what lies ahead, making the tension almost palpable. Opération Tonga promises a grounded, atmospheric take on WWII airborne warfare that fans of historical adventure comics will want to discover.
