14-18 #3

The third volume of Corbeyran and Le Roux's 14-18 series sets its muted, blue-grey palette against the mud and wire of the Western Front, where a group of French poilus — armed with pickaxes, shovels, and weary resolve — pause amid the trenches of January 1915. Le Roux's cover art renders each soldier with quiet individuality, from the bespectacled man at the back to the young soldier seated at the front, making it feel less like a war poster and more like a portrait of ordinary men caught in extraordinary circumstances. Le Champ d'Honneur promises the kind of grounded, human-scale storytelling that makes this series a compelling tribute to the Great War's forgotten faces.
