Les Taxis de la Marne #[nn]

A solitary French officer stands with his back to us before tall glass doors, the Eiffel Tower rising through the panes into a pale sky — a quietly powerful image that sets the stage for September 1914, when France stood on the brink of losing the war. Le Naour and Plumail bring this pivotal moment in history to life through Bamboo Édition's Grand Angle imprint, blending meticulous period detail with the intimate human weight of a nation holding its breath. If you have any interest in World War I history told through the bande dessinée form, this one earns a place on your shelf.
