Brûlant #9
"Le spectre de la guerre" in Brûlant #9 (1979) delivers a poignant wartime romance with a twist of irony, as two soldiers—one a pilot, the other a doughboy—compete for Tammy’s heart under the grim shadow of World War I. Written by Hank Chapman and illustrated by Jerry Grandenetti, the story follows their harrowing journey from the front lines to the hospital, where both are stunned by the same heartbreaking letter. Joe Kubert’s striking cover captures the emotional weight of the tale, a 5,000 FRF comic that lingers long after the final page.
In the trenches and skies of WW1, pilot and doughboy both fight for Tammy’s heart, bound by a promise that she’ll marry the one who returns the greatest hero. When fate forces them into a shared mission, their courage is tested in ways neither expected—each rising to the occasion in a moment that could define their legacy. But glory doesn’t always win the heart, and when their stories end in the same hospital bed, the truth they both dread arrives in a single, devastating letter.
