L'Ambulance 13 #1

Set against a bleak, snow-swept battlefield, this opening volume of L'Ambulance 13 establishes an immediately striking tone: a French medical orderly — Red Cross armband on his sleeve, Adrian helmet on his head, coat caked with the grime of the trenches — stands in quiet resolve amid the rubble, while behind him two stretcher-bearers carry a wounded soldier through the storm. Cothias and Ordas frame the Great War from the perspective of those who tend the fallen rather than fire the guns, and Alain Mounier's cover work renders that world with a muted, wintry palette that feels both historically grounded and genuinely moving. "Croix de Sang" promises a WWI story where courage wears a Red Cross, not a rifle.
