Les compagnons de la Libération #2

Part of Bamboo Édition's biographical comics series honoring the Compagnons de la Libération, this 2019 volume turns its focus to Pierre Messmer, one of Free France's most determined fighters. Philippe Tarral's cover sets the tone beautifully, depicting a column of armed soldiers advancing across a rocky, arid landscape — a central figure in light desert fatigues and a white scarf strides forward with quiet resolve, flanked by rifle-bearing comrades in kepis and field gear. Catherine Valenti and Tarral together bring this tribute to life, promising readers an intimate look at the wartime journey of a remarkable man who answered de Gaulle's call.
