Lignes de front #3

Set against the sun-scorched Egyptian desert, with the Great Pyramids looming on the horizon, this third volume of Lignes de Front drops readers squarely into North African wartime terrain — a rugged armed figure in a wide-brimmed hat stands before a desert-camouflaged military truck, submachine gun in hand. The subtitle "LRDG" points to the legendary Long Range Desert Group, and Jean-Pierre Pécau's writing paired with Bane Kerac's art and Thorn's warm, dust-laden colors makes for a visually striking package. A confident entry in this French BD series from Delcourt, promising grit and adventure in equal measure.
