SYNOPSIS FROM GOODREADS:
Barcelona, July 1936. To counter the Berlin Olympics and the planned Nazi propaganda, athletes from around the world are investing in the Catalan capital and organizing their own ceremony. But, on the eve of the inauguration, Franco seizes power. The Spanish War begins ... Among the athletes trapped, seven men and women choose weapons. Of diverse origins but of common ideals, they will unite with life, with death ... and with love too.
MY RATING: 7 athletes from France should be joining an international competition that was held in Barcelona, Spain. But due to the Germans and fascists invasion that started on late 1930's, these athletes need to fight for their lives and for the lives of other people. I thought that the story would be boring to read but I admit that I was wrong judging this one-shot comics issue. If you are into history or like to read stories related to the WWII, you will like this as well.  |
