Les dossiers de la seconde guerre mondiale #1

From Brremaud & Leclercq comes this striking opening volume of Les Dossiers de la Seconde Guerre Mondiale, zeroing in on the pivotal year 1938. The cover pulls together a vivid collage of the era: a sinister Hitler looms large in the foreground alongside a shadowy figure with a pistol, a sniper taking aim from above, and — intriguingly — a racing cyclist in full sprint, capturing the strange coexistence of everyday life and mounting dread. Published by Clair de Lune in 2018, this first tome promises an engrossing documentary comics approach to the year that set the world on a collision course with global conflict.
