review:
'Operation Copperhead' with words and art by Jean Harambat is a graphic novel based on a true story about what two actors did during World War II.

Using the filming of 'Death On The Nile' in 1977 as a framing story, we find David Niven and Peter Ustinov reminiscing about the strange role they played in World War II. Ustinov as a sniper and Niven was doing recruiting tours using his fame as an actor. They get recruited to make a different kind of movie about army life, but the real reason only starts to come to light at the end of the book. They are to recruit someone who looks like an officer in an intelligence campaign to throw the Germans off.

I liked this story with its mix of comics and quotes from real life. The characters seem true to what I remember. The art style is kind of cartoony, but fits the story really well. Now I have to find the other parts so I know what happened!

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Europe Comics and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
