review:
'Mezek #1' by Yann with art by Andre Juillard is about mercenary pilots flying for Israel in 1948.

As Israel fights to become a country, it becomes necessary to hire skilled pilots from the recent war in Europe to fly the various planes they can find. The main plane is the Mezek a Czech version of the German Messerschmitt. The planes are finicky, have blind spots on landing, but the pilots are aces with them, until a series of accidents starts killing other pilots. The story follows a pilot name Bjorn from Sweden who has his own secrets from the recent war.

The story is ok, but feels a bit flat and stiff. So does the art. I'm glad I read it because I didn't know about this story from history and I found it interesting.

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.
