This album "Black Cat" has received in October 2005, the marked "BD of the price of Marine Academy". This is the first time a cartoon was rewarded by this venerable institution under the Ministry of Defence. Summary: This cycle comprises actually three short stories collected in one album. These stories (fiction), sometimes inspired by real life situations, are based on extensive documentation. Better still, the story called DERELICT, first published in the Journal of Tintin in March 1988, received the seal of authenticity, when in September 1992, the Super Etendard of the 11th Flotilla were conducted in a real mission on Channel (La Manche). Duly reported by regional media, it was exactly similar in every detail to that of the comics created several years ago.
