About this Collection

The eighth volume of the 421 series, 'Les Années de Brouillard' collects stories from the Franco-Belgian comic series originally published by Dupuis. This edition continues the narrative arc of the series, which follows the adventures of its characters in a mysterious, fog-shrouded setting.

In "Les années de brouillard," the mysterious past of agent 421 comes under scrutiny as his superiors question a five-year gap in his history—when, at age twelve, his plane crashed in the Burmese jungle during a return from an Indian holiday. Written by Stephen Desberg and illustrated by Éric Maltaite, this 1990 issue explores the unsettling uncertainty of what truly happened to the boy who vanished, and whether the man who returned was ever really him. The cover by Éric Maltaite captures the enigma with a stark, shadowed portrait that hints at secrets buried deep.

Une zone obscure dans la biographie de l'agent 421 inquiète ses supérieurs. Alors qu'il avait 12 ans, l'avion qui le ramenait des vacances en Inde, s'écrasa dans la forêt tropicale birmane. L'enfant disparut pendant 5 ans. Avait-il survécu à l'accident ou bien était-il mort et quelqu'un s'était-il emparé de son identité ?
