Lignes de front #9

The ninth volume in Delcourt's Lignes de Front series brings us "Division Leclerc," with a cover by Pécau, Brada, and Thorn that immediately sets a gripping tone. A lone Allied soldier stands rifle in hand, his expression steely and resolute, while behind him a German half-track bearing the Balkenkreuz blazes beneath a sky thick with black smoke. It's a vivid 2016 snapshot of the brutal, close-quarters reality of armored warfare, rendered with the gritty realism this series does so well.
