Brûlant #22
In "Peloton d'exécution," a lone sergeant haunted by survival guilt wanders a frozen battlefield, questioning his purpose with a quiet, haunting resolve. As he moves through the snow, he takes desperate, decisive action—disabling enemy nests, destroying fuel tanks, downing a plane—before guiding lost green recruits to safety at the cost of his own life. The story, written by Howard Liss and illustrated by Jack Abel with inks by Abel, features a powerful cover by Joe Kubert, capturing the grim intensity of a man who finds meaning in sacrifice.
In the frozen aftermath of battle, a lone sergeant grapples with survival guilt after escaping an artillery blast that killed his entire unit. Haunted and drifting through snow-laden ruins, he stumbles upon scattered American soldiers and takes desperate, quiet action—neutralizing threats, guiding stragglers, and ultimately leading a group of green recruits to safety while holding back the enemy. When they find him, his final expression speaks louder than any order.
In the tense shadows of a Pacific island during wartime, Rock evades Japanese soldiers with the help of a local woman who dares everything to save him. Their fragile alliance unfolds across rugged terrain, where trust is as scarce as safety.
