Le vol des anges #2

The second volume of Le Vol des Anges plunges readers into the turbulent skies of the Royal Flying Corps, with a leather-clad aviator clinging to a biplane as a massive, storm-wreathed airship looms ominously overhead. Rivera's cover work beautifully captures the tension between fragile wood-and-canvas aircraft and the sheer scale of the dirigible bearing down through crackling lightning. With Wallace's story and Nicolas Caniaux's rich colors bringing this aerial world to life, this 2010 Franco-Belgian album looks like a thrilling ride through the dangerous romance of early military aviation.
