14-18 #6

Set against the mud and muted tones of the Western Front, the cover of this sixth volume in Corbeyran and Le Roux's 14-18 series gathers a group of weary, battle-worn soldiers around an early armored tank — a striking image that quietly captures the human cost behind the machinery of war. Le Roux's painted linework gives each figure a distinct, lived-in presence, from the hunched man at center to the troops flanking him in their worn French uniforms. Subtitled De foto (augustus 1916), this 2017 Dutch-language edition promises an intimate look at one harrowing summer month on the front.
