Les Enfants de la Résistance #3

Three young figures stand beneath dramatic searchlight beams cutting across a wartime sky, a warplane silhouetted overhead and an industrial skyline looming in the distance — Benoît Ers's cover for this 2017 Le Lombard hardcover immediately evokes the tension and courage at the heart of Les Enfants de la Résistance. The third volume, subtitled Les deux géants, continues writer Dugomier and artist Ers's story of children navigating the dangers of Occupied France, with period vignettes ringing the edges of the cover hinting at the broader world these young resistants inhabit. It's a beautifully composed image that balances youthful determination with the genuine weight of history.
