L'Ambulance 13 #2

Set against a bleak, snow-dusted World War I landscape — horse-drawn ambulance wagons and a village church fading into the grey distance — this second volume of L'Ambulance 13 puts human cost front and center. A wounded French soldier, bandaged and bearing a Red Cross armband, sits wearily on a crate while a Red Cross nurse in a white winged headdress stands protectively behind him, her hand resting on his shoulder. Cothias, Ordas, and Mounier bring quiet gravity to "Au nom des hommes," a title that says everything about the compassion driving those who served in the medical corps of the Great War.
