Résumé
Eind 1942: na een danteske woordenwisseling en een vreselijke crash wordt James O’Brady, Amerikaans bommenwerperpiloot, wakker in de overtuiging dat hij Hans Raeder is, een Duits jachtpiloot. De jongeman probeert, in een omgeving die hem vijandig gezind lijkt, te begrijpen of hij gek is geworden, of slachtoffer is van een vloek. Een verblijf in de Verenigde Staten brengt hem de antwoorden die hem naar de Stille Oceaan moeten leiden, maar begin 1943 worden die projecten uitgesteld.

Wallace was born in Normandy in 1967. After studying accounting, he became a teacher, but continued to pursue in parallel his lifelong passion for comics. He began contributing to a fanzine called "Tout bulle...," and met numerous authors through interviews and festivals. He soon developed a desire to write his own stories, and came out with "Chant des Terres," a two-part tale set in Scotland and published by Paquet. Along the way he crossed paths with Alexandre Paringaux, founder of Zephyr Publishing, and pitched a project called "Le vol des anges," a family saga about World War I and some of aviation's pioneers. Following its success, he continued writing for the publisher, creating "FAFL," taking place during World War II, and "Air Forces - Vietnam." In recent years their collaboration has only grown tighter, thanks to a two-part series with Patrice Buendia called "Air America," as well as an ambitious four-author project titled "L'Aigle à deux têtes" ("Wings of War," Europe Comics), teaming with artist Julien Camp on the "Eagle" subseries, which recounts the story of an American B-17 pilot during WWII; his life is destined to intersect with that of a Nazi fighter pilot, whose story is told in parallel in "Adler."
