Brûlant #24
In "Mort pour la patrie," Joe Kubert delivers a gripping wartime tale with a haunting twist: after a crash landing in the French countryside, the fugitive Von Hammer is repeatedly saved by the very families of the pilots he’s killed—each unaware of his identity. With powerful storytelling and striking visuals from Joe Kubert, both in the interior and on the cover, this 1973 issue from Arédit-Artima presents a tense, morally charged encounter where loyalty and memory blur.
In "Acier glacé pour une guerre chaude," Captain Hunter, driven by the disappearance of his brother, finds himself protecting a group of young refugee children as they flee the brutal reach of the Viet Cong—soldiers who took their parents. With no safe ground in sight, he must navigate the harsh realities of war while forging a fragile bond with the children who now depend on him.
In "Lâche... Prends cette colline," Union Lieutenant Jim Travers flees the battlefield in a moment of panic, haunted by the weight of his cowardice. A year later, he stands again at Cemetery Hill, facing the same enemy and the same test of courage he once failed.
In the war-torn French countryside, a downed German pilot named Von Hammer finds himself saved—three times—by the very families of French airmen he once killed, each unaware of his identity. As he struggles to survive, the haunting echoes of his past begin to blur with the kindness of strangers.
