La Grande Guerre - 1914-1918 #1

This opening volume of Les Éditions du Triomphe's La Grande Guerre 1914–1918 series focuses on one of the pivotal engagements of the First World War's opening months: the Battle of the Marne, August–September 1914. Guillaume Berteloot's cover sets the scene with striking period detail — French infantrymen in their distinctive blue coats and red trousers advance alongside a requisitioned early automobile, its driver and passengers suggesting the famous mobilization of Parisian taxis that became synonymous with this desperate campaign. Published in 2013, it's an inviting entry point for readers drawn to rigorously illustrated historical comics that bring the Western Front's defining early struggle vividly to life.
