September 1945. Japan has just capitulated, and World War Two is official over. Buck, Tumb and Sonny find themselves on a flight to Tokyo where they are to receive a well-deserved medal. But while the Emperor himself ordered his country to surrender, there are still die-hards in the Japanese military determined to continue fighting. Among them, members of the terrifying Unit 731, guilty of horrific war crimes and specialists in bacteriological warfare - among other things...
A former pilot in the French Navy, Frdric Zumbiehl has since turned to writing. He wrote several military adventure series, always insisting on hyper-realism, such as Team Rafale or Unit Flin. Frdric Marniquet is both writer and artist, creator of several series including Rafale Leader. Jean-Michel Arroyo is a self-taught artist come to comics after 10 years of bicycle racing. After Le Paquebot des Sables, he met Frdric Zumbiehl for a first series about air warfare, and the two stayed together for Buck Danny Classics.
