Charles de Gaulle #3

The third volume of Bamboo Édition's biographical series brings writer Jean-Yves Le Naour and artist Claude Plumail to the pivotal years of 1944–1945 — "L'heure de vérité," or the hour of truth. The cover, illustrated and inked by Plumail, presents de Gaulle in full military uniform and képi, a resolute figure set against a dramatic wartime sky filled with aircraft, with the silhouette of Big Ben looming behind him — a striking evocation of the general's London years and the weight of history on his shoulders. With colorist Sébastien Bouët's rich, moody palette lending real atmosphere to the scene, this volume promises a compelling portrait of a defining moment for both the man and France.
