THE FIRST DAY
Story:: J.-M. Lofficer; Art: Mario Guevara
THE LAST DAY
Story: Thierry Mornet; Dialogues: J.-M. Lofficer; Art: Luciano Bernasconi
Spring 1945. The end of the Second World War is near... Paris has just been liberated... The Germans are retreating everywhere... The Americans are coming... However, there is still time for some desperate missions, such as stopping a last train of Jewish children from being taken by the Nazis to the death camps!
The Guardian of the Republic and Marianne, Baroud and Princess Sadko of the Partisans, will each face incredible obstacles in order to halt this abominable project. And their success will only come at the price of the blood shed for some of them...
But while one war is about to end, another, perhaps even more violent and merciless one, is already beginning...
These two sagas from the last days of the Second World War have been created by Thierry Mornet & Luciano Bernasconi, and Jean-Marc Lofficier & Mario Guevara.
The strongest story was The First Day Guevara's art on this looks almost pencil and washes. It's quite effective. With the Princess shot down by a traitor will we ever learn what the Crimen Project is?! This is certainly the best of this volume.
It was interesting to see Bernasconi's art as the Guardian of the Republic faces a tough fight and a fight that could prove fatal but along the way he meets his 21st century counterpart and Dr Omega. Will this be the 1940s Guardian of the Republic's final battle?
Hopefully we will see vengeance over the shooting and betrayal of the Princess and the Allies but only time will tell. Perhaps things will move on to the Cold War?
A fun read.
