About the series
In Le Sang des Lâches, writer Yann and artist Christophe Blain deliver a taut, historical thriller for Casterman, set against the backdrop of the Franco-Prussian War. The series follows a French soldier grappling with cowardice and betrayal after a devastating defeat, as he becomes entangled in a web of military justice and personal honor. Running four issues since 2014, this compact, morally complex story stands out for its atmospheric art and unflinching look at the psychology of shame and survival in wartime.
