Synopsis

She's a British spy handler who, in the darkest days of World War II, discovers the way to stopping the Nazis is to find a French baker's assistant.

Who also happens to be Adolf Hitler's illegitimate son.

When a trio of Nazi informants wash up on the shoes of Dover, spy handler Cora Brown is assigned their interrogation. Usually skeptical, she's shocked when they reveal to her a secret only a handful of Nazis know: that during the first World War Hitler fathered a child in France.

Armed with these stolen Nazi files, she defies her orders and tracks down Pierre Moreau and convinces him to embark on a mission to find his biological father - and assassinate him. They make their way to Germany but discover that the road to discovery is filled with violence, spycraft, weird scientific experiments and death. 

Will Pierre make it to Hitler and end the war? Or will they discover something else along the way?

About this title

Review

"Few war stories are this much fun." - NPR

"A firecracker espionage tale... With its intricate elaboration of secret service work and shocker of a last-act twist, this comic achieves the satisfying web-of-secrets allure that John le Carré and Len Deighton pull off in prose." - Publishers Weekly

"Del Col and Moore's story is packed with classic espionage-thriller turns, such as coded messages hidden in baked goods, double-crossing agents, bloody shootouts, blackmail, and a rookie operative with a hair trigger, who fouls up the plan. McComsey's luminous monochromatic artwork makes great use of highlight and shadow on his realistic figures, which only adds to the noirish atmosphere. Pierre's story drags a bit in the middle, but a twist toward the end sends the story careering toward the conclusion, which takes a hearty swipe at contemporary American politics. Hand to fans of WWII-era spy comics." -Booklist

"Son of Hitler left me speechless in the best way possible" - Geek.com
