"Décembre noir" in L'Escadron des Etoiles #2 (1982) delivers a gripping wartime clash where heroes returning to Pearl Harbor confront the aftermath of battle, only to be drawn into a supernatural siege on a Pacific island. As the more powerful among them succumb to the combined magicks of the Holy Tablet and the Spear of Destiny—held by Tojo and Hitler—their allies must fight to reclaim them from Axis influence. Written by Roy Thomas and illustrated by Rich Buckler, with inks by Jerry Ordway and colors by Carl Gafford, the issue unfolds with urgent stakes, while Dick Giordano’s cover pencils and inks capture the tension of a world on the brink.
