CHURCHILL

CHURCHILL A GRAPHIC BIOGRAPHY

Written by Vincent Delmas; Illustrated by Christophe Regnault and Alessio Cammardella; Foreword by Andrew Roberts

Sir Winston Churchill is often referred to as the greatest Briton and is certainly one of the most important and central fi gures of the 20th century. Containing both his many pitfalls and triumphs, this graphic biography follows Churchill’s 17 upbringing through his military exploits in World War I and beyond. Best known for his role in World War II, Churchill presents the Prime Minister’s part in this world-changing confl ict and how his handling of it turned him into a political icon.

Leading Churchill historian Andrew Roberts contributes additional insight in the foreword and historian François Kersaudy provides a new English-language introduction to provide greater background and supplementary knowledge.

Churchill is a unique depiction of the life of Winston Churchill that places his story in the context of the times while enabling the reader to truly visualize the key moments in his life and career.

Vincent Delmas writes for television, fi lm, and comics. Notably, he is co-author of Charlemagne in the collection Ils ont fait l’Histoire and scriptwriter of the series Synchrone, published by Lombard.

Christophe Regnault, also known as “Bis”, illustrates role playing games (2d sans face), works for various educational comics (Une Bulle en Plus) and for the gaming publications Dofus Mag and IGMag (Ankama).

Summer 1940, Southern England

London What other planes have we got?

None, sir. All of the available Royal Air Force fighter planes are in the air.

There is considerable damage. 40 British planes have failed to return.

But 56 enemy planes have been downed!

Maybe that’ll make Hitler rethink his invasion strategy.

The great air battle which has been in progress over this island for the last few weeks has recently attained a high intensity.

The gratitude of every home in our Island . . . goes out to the British airmen . . . undaunted by odds . . . and mortal danger . . .

Sir!

A telegram from the White House! Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.

President Roosevelt confirms he will send us the destroyers and other munitions for "our little tiff with Mr Hitler . . . "

" … in exchange for leases on military bases in the West Indies and Newfoundland."

LET’S MAKE THE DEAL!

He has a sense of humour!
