"In the Asylum" marks a pivotal moment in the early career of Corbet, a man caught between past and present, as he returns to the French Foreign Legion under a veil of secrecy. Written by S. M. Iger and brought to life with sharp, expressive art by Alex Blum, the story unfolds with quiet tension as Corbet, believed dead, must navigate his return without exposing his identity. The cover, a striking piece by Lou Fine, captures the mood of mystery and danger that permeates this wartime tale.
