Les Échappés #2

The second volume of Les Échappés plunges readers into the tension of "Opération Tonga," with a cover that sets the stage beautifully — a low-flying Allied transport plane banking overhead while soldiers advance alongside a German half-track marked with the Iron Cross, all rendered in Seigneuret's moody, olive-toned palette. The composition captures that knife-edge atmosphere of wartime infiltration with remarkable atmosphere, balancing ground-level grit against the drama unfolding in the sky. Zytka and Seigneuret's 2015 collaboration for Soleil continues to show why this French WWII series deserves a place on any BD fan's shelf.
