About the series
In this two-issue miniseries from Hachette (1985–1986), writer Daniel Vaxelaire and artist Michel Faure craft a historical drama set against the backdrop of the Napoleonic era. The story follows a young man's quest to uncover the truth about his father, a soldier in Napoleon's Grande Armée, whose mysterious past is tied to the emperor's shadowy legacy. Vaxelaire's script and Faure's detailed artwork bring a personal, intimate lens to the sweeping events of early 19th-century France. Though brief, Les fils de l'aigle is a compact example of the Franco-Belgian bande dessinée tradition, exploring themes of identity and duty within a pivotal historical moment.
