Missions Kimono #25

The long-running French aviation series reaches its 25th volume with Hirola, brought to life by Jean-Yves Brouard, Yvan "Helmut" Launay, Rudolph de Patureaux, and Francis Nicole. The cover pulls you right into the cockpit's perspective: a fully armed fighter jet — missiles already streaking away from its wing — roars low over a brilliant blue sea, while a small vessel cuts a white wake far below and a helmeted pilot's reflection gazes back from the O in Kimono. It's a beautifully composed shot that captures the speed, tension, and vast open-water setting that fans of this series have come to love across 25 volumes.
