Les scorpions du Désert

In Les scorpions du Désert (2013–2015), Casterman collected five issues of a taut, sun-scorched war saga set during World War II’s North African campaign. Created by writer and artist Jean-David Morvan and illustrated by a rotating team of artists including Philippe Aymond and Sébastien Philippe, the series follows a ragtag French Foreign Legion unit—the Scorpions—as they navigate shifting loyalties, brutal desert combat, and the moral fog of colonial conflict. It stands as a gritty, character-driven alternative to more romanticized war comics, grounding its action in historical detail and the harsh realities of the desert theater.
