Soldat Inconnu #2

Two figures peer through dense, rain-soaked jungle foliage on this striking cover — a bandage-faced man and a young child half-hidden among the lush green leaves, their expressions taut with wariness. Subtitled Meurtre Pieux ("Pious Murder"), this French-language Vertigo collection from Urban Comics captures the raw, tense atmosphere of Joshua Dysart and Alberto Ponticelli's modern war narrative set in the heart of Africa. For readers drawn to grounded, morally complex storytelling, this 2012 edition is a compelling addition to any shelf.
