Malgré nous #2

The snow-swept Eastern Front comes to life in this second volume of Thierry Gloris and Marie Terray's Malgré Nous, subtitled Ostfront. The cover sets a haunting, immediate tone: a wounded soldier slumped in a blood-stained snowfield, a rifle at his side and a tank looming ghostlike through the blizzard behind him. It's a quietly devastating image that speaks to the brutal human cost of war on the Eastern Front, rendered with real emotional weight by Gloris and Terray in this 2010 release from Soleil.
