U-Boot #2

The cover of this second volume in Jean-Yves Delitte's U-Boot series makes an immediate impression: a German submarine sits moored in a cavernous dry dock, rendered in striking amber and grey tones that capture both the vessel's industrial mass and its quiet menace. Delitte's draftsmanship brings remarkable technical precision to the U-boat's hull, conning tower, and surrounding scaffolding, evoking the tense world of WWII submarine warfare before a single page is turned. Subtitled "Jude," this 2015 Daedalus release promises the same meticulous attention to naval history that defines the series.
