Brûlant #15
"Le soldat à la main d'acier" delivers a tense wartime showdown in Brûlant #15, a 1970 French release with a cover price of 2,50 FRF. Written by Robert Kanigher and illustrated with gritty precision by Joe Kubert—both inks and pencils—this issue pits the seasoned von Hammer against a reckless new pilot known as The Bull, whose deadly choices have already cost a fellow flyer their life. When The Bull dares von Hammer to a duel, the airfield becomes the stage for a clash of honor and ambition.
In "Le soldat à la main d'acier," Easy Company takes control of a German castle during the war, and Rock finds himself drawn to the Countess who resides there. His momentary fascination is shattered when the Iron Major—her lover—unexpectedly storms the estate and launches a brutal assault on Rock and his men.
In the ashes of a forgotten front, von Hammer returns to his airfield to find a new legend has taken flight—The Bull, a reckless pilot who let a comrade die to chase an unarmed enemy plane. Now, the man who once ruled the skies challenges von Hammer to a duel, not for glory, but for the soul of the war.
In "Un demi sergent !", Rock, a young soldier caught in the chaos of war, faces a crushing inner turmoil when the weight of command paralyzes him with fear—each choice a potential disaster, every decision shadowed by the dread of what might go wrong. The story grips with quiet intensity, exploring the fragile line between duty and doubt in the heat of battle.
