Résumé
1941. Almost all of Europe is under the Nazi heel. Great Britain still holds out, but the situation worsens with every passing day. And in North Africa, gateway to the Middle East and its immense oil reserves, Rommel now threatens Egypt, keystone of British defences. In those desperate times, three men (David Stirling, Blair Mayne and ‘Jock’ Lewes), three unconventional officers, band together to create a small, elite unit that will become a military legend: the SAS.

Vincent Brugeas est un passionné d'Histoire, doublé d'un historien de formation. Mais rompant avec la tradition familiale, il préfère raconter celle-ci plutôt que de l'enseigner. Sa rencontre, au lycée, avec le dessinateur Ronan Toulhoat, l'amène vers le scénario de BD. Entre 2007 et 2010, Vincent est bibliothécaire en attendant de pouvoir publier son premier ouvrage. Ce sera Block 109, aux Éditions Akiléos avec son copain Ronan Toulhoat : une uchronie de 200 pages sur la Seconde Guerre mondiale saluée par la critique et plébiscitée par les lecteurs. Après 4 volumes de Block 109, il s'attaque ensuite à une série d'anticipation : Chaos Team, et surtout à un thriller médiéval à succès : Le Roy des Ribauds. En 2017, Vincent rejoint les Éditions du Lombard pour traiter, au travers de The Regiment, d'un autre sujet de la Seconde Guerre mondiale : l'histoire vraie de la création du SAS dans le désert nord-africain. En 2021, il se lance dans la réécriture du mythe de Robin des bois avec la série Nottingham, qu'il co-signe avec Emmanuel Herzet et dont Benoît Dellac assure l'illustration.

Thomas Legrain's talent was obvious from the word go. He's been drawing for as long as he can remember, and he did his first comic book at the age of twelve. As a keen admirer of the likes of Van Hamme and Travis Charest, he soon developed a taste for realism and meticulous backdrops. Nonetheless, when he reached the time in his life to make those first career choices, he actually chose to study history and criminology, as a backup to his artistic activities. What with his incredible capacity for hard work, he still managed to complete an album a year alongside his studies. As soon as he'd finished with higher education, he published a few panels online. It only took him two months to be spotted by Jean-Claude Bartoll ("Insiders"), who he then worked with on "Mortelle Rivière" with Glénat, and "L'Agence" with Casterman. Three years and seven published albums later, he achieved his childhood dream and landed himself a contract with Le Lombard, where he collaborated with writer Benec on the "Sisco" series (Europe Comics 2017), a political thriller. In 2015, he allowed himself a little break from "Sisco," in order to make time to work with Stephen Desberg on "Baghdad Inc." (2016 Europe Comics), a techno-thriller based in war-torn Iraq. Another triumph of realistic illustration techniques!
