About the series
In this four-issue historical saga published by Glénat from 1998 to 2001, brothers Jean-Marc and Éric Stalner collaborate as both writers and artists, crafting a grim, intimate tale set against the backdrop of World War I. The series focuses on the brutal human cost of the conflict, following soldiers on the front lines and civilians caught in the devastation, rendered in the Stalners' expressive, detailed ligne claire style. Le fer et le feu stands as a poignant, unflinching European graphic novel that prioritizes character-driven tragedy over epic spectacle, earning its place as a notable work in the brothers' acclaimed bibliography.
