Written by Patrice Buendia and Frédéric Zumbiehl, illustrated by Giuseppe De Luca, and published by Dupuis, this release marks a departure from the company’s traditional aviation focus. The story follows Sonny as he navigates his arrival in Hong Kong and becomes embroiled in a kidnapping plot involving Japanese troops.
