Souvenirs de la Grande Armée #3

Set against the sweeping plains of the Napoleonic era, this third volume of Souvenirs de la Grande Armée plunges readers into 1809 with the breathless promise of "See Vienna or Die!" The cover, rendered by Alexis Alexander, captures a cavalry charge at full gallop — a saber-wielding hussar on horseback surging forward, flanked by mounted soldiers pressing hard behind him in an electrifying rush of dust and momentum. Writer Michel Dufranne and colorist Jean-Paul Fernandez round out a creative team that brings real craft to this French-language series from Delcourt, making this 2010 installment a compelling portrait of ambition, valor, and the brutal romance of Napoleon's Grande Armée.
