From the Big Bang to Hiroshima, the incredible story of the most disastrous weapon ever invented On August 6, 1945, at 8:15 in the morning, an explosive charge of more than 15 kilotons fell on the city of Hiroshima. Tens of thousands of people were pulverized, and everything within four square miles was instantly destroyed. A deluge of flames and ash had just caused Japan's greatest trauma and changed the course of modern warfare and life on Earth forever. The world was horrified by the existence of the bomb--the first weapon of mass destruction. But how could such an appalling tool be invented? To answer this question, Alcante, Laurent-Frédéric Bollée, and Denis Rodier return to the origins of its main component, uranium, and shed light on the scientific discoveries around this element and its uses both civilian and military. Sifting through the history, from Katanga to Japan, through Germany, Norway, the USSR, and New Mexico,The Bomb is a succession of incredible but true stories. Alcante, Bollée, and Rodier have created an exhaustive and definitive work of nonfiction that details the stories of the unsung players as well as the remarkable men and women who are at the crux of its history and the events that followed.

Operation Basalt would have been a footnote in history but for the reaction of Hitler, who believed that British soldiers executed several Germans who had already surrendered and whose hands were bound. Days after the raid, he issued the infamous `Commando Order', a death sentence for those Allied commandos who fell into German hands.

A remarkable account of the only large-scale attempt in history to create a democratic, non-authoritarian, fullysocialist society.

Este nuevo volumen de XIII Mystery nos acerca a los orígenes de la saga principal, remontándose hasta la historia contada en el tercer volumen, cuando el misterioso protagonista se escapa del asilo penitenciario de Plain Rock con la ayuda de la Mayor Jones y un chaval, Billy Stockton. El guión de Bollée recrea la trágica vida del joven Billy antes de su encierro: heredero de una gran fortuna, víctima de la grotesca vida sureña y pretendiente al trono nihilista de Kurt Cobain. Un meandro maravilloso en torno a la serie regular que revela y oculta a partes iguales. Sexta entrega del spin-off de XIII, la obra creada por William Vance y Van Hamme, escrita esta vez por Laurent-Frédéric Bollée y con dibujo de Steve Cuzor (O’Boys).
