Choc #31
In "Hommage à l'ennemi," Jack Kirby's dynamic storytelling and art bring to life a gripping wartime chapter where Gunner mentors a band of French orphans into makeshift Marines, forging resilience in the face of occupation. With Storm and Cloud pressing a Nazi prisoner for intelligence, the fragile calm shatters when enemy forces launch a sudden assault on the town. Kirby’s powerful interior work, enhanced by D. Bruce Berry’s inks, captures the intensity of the resistance, while Joe Kubert’s cover delivers a stark, memorable image of the conflict’s stakes. A 60-franc comic from 1982, this issue stands as a bold, character-driven moment in a story defined by courage and sacrifice.
In "Gung-Ho!", Gunner leads a band of French orphans through the brutal trials of war, turning them into fierce defenders of their town. As Storm and Cloud press a Nazi prisoner for information, the front lines erupt when enemy forces descend—forcing the young recruits to prove they’re more than just children.
