Les grandes batailles navales #[26]

Part of Glénat's acclaimed Les grandes batailles navales series, this 2025 volume turns its sights on the U-9, the Imperial German submarine whose story sent shockwaves through naval history. The cover — rendered with painterly precision by Fabio Pezzi — plunges us into churning grey seas, the U-boat's sleek hull cutting through the waves in the foreground while a distant warship burns beneath a billowing column of black smoke on the horizon. With writing by Jean-Yves Delitte and art direction from Philippe Adamov, this is naval warfare storytelling at its most atmospheric and visceral.
