The Lion and the Eagle

Set in the heart of the Napoleonic Wars, this French series from Editions Paquet explores the collision of two great empires through the eyes of common soldiers. The debut issue, written and drawn by creators known for their meticulous historical research, contrasts the disciplined British redcoats with the battle-hardened veterans of the French Grande Armée. With its focus on gritty, human-scale conflict rather than grand strategy, The Lion and the Eagle offers a fresh, intimate perspective on a well-trodden era of military history.
