Because they needed to surpass human abilities, science made them: The Sentinels.
In 1911, during the French intervention in Morocco, a secret section of the army, the 'Sentinels' division, tests its new weapon: Iron-Hewer, a soldier who has been grafted with metal limbs. Invulnerable to bullets, ripping through the barbed wire like paper, this steel soldier seems indestructible ... Until he stops dead in the middle of combat. His batteries are flat!
In 1914, inspired by the work of Pierre and Marie Curie, Gabriel Feraud, a young scientist, designs the radium battery. Colonel Mirreau then sees the potential of using such an energy source with his Iron-Hewer ... But Feraud, an anti-militarist, refuses ... War is declared, Feraud is mobilized. On the 8th August 1914, he is hit by a German shell and loses all his limbs. Lying in a hospital, Mirreau makes him a proposal: give the radium battery to Dr. Kropp, the 'creator' of the Sentinels, and become the new Iron-Hewer...
Based in history, this 'retro science-fiction' album with sharp, modern colours, gives birth, for the first time to a French super-hero: Iron-Hewer.
