The object
The object
Executed in classic ligne claire, the series's drawings are characterized by a stylized but realistic portrayal of the background and a highly stylized, nearly caricatural character design. Named after the protagonist, Adler von Berg, a German pilot who deserts the Luftwaffe in 1942 and founds an airfreight company in Delhi with his Irish girlfriend Helen. The albums recount, with a humorous tone, their action-laden adventures in exotic locations such as India, Latin America, the Caribbean or a Soviet gulag.
