Malouines #3

The third volume of Barron and Taborda's Malouines series — subtitled Le Ciel Appartient aux Faucons — brings the Falklands War air conflict into sharp focus with this installment centered on the Super-Étendard, France's lethal carrier-based strike jet. Taborda's cover art puts you right in the cockpit's shadow as the sleek aircraft bears down in a dramatic zoom, an Exocet missile streaking ahead toward the viewer with explosive energy. Published by Éditions Paquet in 2014, this French-language album delivers the kind of technically precise, high-tension aviation storytelling that fans of military comics will find genuinely compelling.
