I first encountered Yves Chaland's character Freddy Lombard in the pages of Heavy Metal. Just recently, I ran across a reprint album in my local comic shop and picked it up.

Two story lines in this volume. Both stories are centered on the character Freddy Lombard and his friends Dina and Sweep. The first deals the the Soviet invasion of Hungary, and the second an atomic power passenger plane. The story Hungary takes place in Budapest. This story seemed somewhat disjointed. Yves Chaland is one of my favourite European creators - and he has been mentioned here before, jock, as I know I've brought him up somewhere on this forum. Ah ha! I had recalled that someone had mentioned something - but I searched on Freddy Lombard, which returned nothing (which I found surprising), rather than Yves Chaland, which brings.

It’s easy to see why so much love and care was put into these two volumes; hopefully, you’ll all discover it for yourselves before too long.
