4.0

Nice tale of leftist revolutionary struggle. The Spanish Civil War was so important in the wars and conflicts to come that it was a defining moment in world history. And this was originally published in 1979, so it's an early Bilal. Pierre Christin is, on his own, a celebrated writer of BD. Bilal would proceed to mainly write and ilustrate his own stuff. This graphic novel was published in a time (the Cold War) where trenches were being deepen. Now we live in another such time, so maybe it's a good idea to recover narratives like this one.
