Svoboda! #2

Set against the rain-soaked forests of Revolutionary Russia, this second volume of Svoboda! transports readers to Yekaterinburg in the summer of 1918, framed as the imagined war diary of a Czech Legion soldier. Jean-Denis Pendanx's cover artwork immerses us in a grim, atmospheric procession of weary soldiers in heavy winter coats and fur hats, some on horseback, pushing through a darkened woodland — a striking portrait of endurance on a distant front. Written by Kris and brought to life through Pendanx's evocative line work, this Dutch-language series from Daedalus offers a compelling, humanly scaled window into one of World War One's most overlooked chapters.
