The English adaptation of the European best-seller continues! Enormous, incomprehensible and terrifying, the Wall stands at the heart of the solar system, cutting off access to any planet beyond Saturn. People aboard the United Earth Force's powerful third fleet are beginning to ask questions: Is the Wall a black hole, or a shield of unknown force? Is it the harbinger of an imminent invasion, or is Death itself lurking on the other side, waiting to pounce? A squadron of misfits is going to be tested by confronting its own human problems within this mystery of cosmic proportions. With the fate of humanity at stake, can anyone survive the First Universal War?

And so here we go: the publication of Universal War One in the USA by the leading publisher of comics, the famous Marvel, began. It is a kind of waking dream for me, who read fervently in my adolescence the productions of the "House of Ideas". I was dreaming of drawing Iron Man or the Fantastic Four, and having the honour to be a day published by the successors of Stan Lee. And... it was they who came to fetch me for UW1! Thanks a lot to all those who, in France as the USA, participated in the establishment of the American UW1 adventure!
And to celebrate it, here, exclusive alternate cover of comic book 1.
