Le Pilote à l'Edelweiss #2

The second volume of Le Pilote à l'Edelweiss arrives with a striking cover by Romain Hugault, depicting a decorated young aviator in a dark military uniform standing proudly before a gleaming blue biplane, its polished wooden propeller dominating the foreground while additional aircraft wait on the grassy airfield behind him. Hugault's painterly linework and rich colors give the scene a vivid sense of WWI-era atmosphere, balancing heroism and elegance in equal measure. With writer Yann and Hugault reuniting for this chapter subtitled "Sidonie," fans of aviation-themed bandes dessinées will find this 2012 entry a handsome continuation of the series.
