Writer Cartoon Jean-Pierre Pécau, well known for his series Arcana we spell The big game, a fantastic story with historical backdrop of WWII, where villains Teutonic "fricotent with a power evil. " 1945, France and Great Britain won the war for four years . Jean-Pierre Pécau, we see, takes some liberties with history. If the Allies had triumphed in Germany, the conflict is not finished yet: the fight between the Nazis and the USSR continues to the delight of the West. But all is not rosy for the French secret services: the airship Charles de Gaulle, Paris sensible rally in Tokyo, via the North Pole, not arrived at its destination. Accident? Nothing is less certain! Nestor Serge, a journalist for France-Soir is seen asked by his editor to take place in the relief mission to visit the accident site, located in the Arctic ice. Before embarking towards the ice, the journalist will be revealing some dark secrets. Indeed, the Nazis up to something in the land of Santa Claus. Hitler and his arm Himmler's right, both fans of the esoteric, since 1933 trying to ally with the dark forces. No fruitless searches! Holders of swastika see their army reinforced in 1945 by elite troops supernatural SS Tibetans able to transform into werewolves ... And then what? Well, add to that the firing of rockets by ghosts from reliable sources and Greenland, precisely, are responsible for the failure of the maiden flight of Charles de Gaulle and you "almost" the whole recipe an excellent first volume! It is true that we could moral outrage at so many "as" ... But all stands and we wait impatiently for the next issues including how to find the author going to make it to unravel the plot! It is also blown away by the excellent drawings of a certain Leo Pilipovic.
One might think that only science fiction fans have a chance to be conquered, other ayanr also may have stopped reading the article, but the general atmosphere alone is worth the detour. It hovers over the comic a nostalgic smell Audiard and you'd read the dialogues signed by the great Michael. " - You've read ... - I am on vacation, boss, I read anything on vacation. It relaxes me eyes ... Oh shit ... We know what happened? (Reference to "Charles de Gaulle) - If we knew it would be 5 columns to one, there's not that the eyes need to return to work, my little Nestor. "Or " - No, the orders of the plant are to keep the district at all costs. In the words of Comrade Stalin, a true communist never recoil. - This is the trick to getting rid of the Communists, just wait until they finish to obey orders! " As seen, the replicas burst out and the characters alone set the tone. The authors are also allowed a caricature of Lino Ventura adorned with the famous line: "The stupid, it dares all, why we even recognize them. "
It will be understood, the author departs somewhat from the historical truth ... Though ... A successful first book then, but all could soon collapse with each album. One thing to do when: wait for the second component at a halt.
