Le Grand Duc #2

The second volume of Le Grand Duc, subtitled Camarade Lilya, takes to the skies with a striking cover depicting a confident female Soviet pilot in a leather flight jacket, standing before a red-star-marked fighter aircraft while a second plane banks through the clouds overhead. Created by Hugault and Yann, this 2009 release from Editions Paquet's Cockpit imprint brings a richly rendered WWII aviation atmosphere to life. If wartime aerial drama told through beautifully detailed artwork is your thing, this series deserves a spot on your shelf.
