Buck Danny, Vol. 11: Vostok Isn't Answering
Tasked with testing the new F-35 in extreme cold conditions, Buck and his wingmen are sent to Antarctica – much to Sonny's disgust. The F-35 recurring technical problems force them to make a longer first stop than anticipated on their crossing of the continent. And while it does allow Buck to meet the lovely Natalya, a Russian scientist, it also puts them in the middle of a merciless snowstorm. That's when they receive a mysterious SOS from Vostok Station …

This was a good ride, as far as I can see part one in the story series.
Buck Danny are stories in vein of good old action movies. We follow our hero (Buck Danny) and his friends, trio of fearless pilots, as they come across the mystery in the cold South Pole. Also this is a rare one where Buck gets head over heels for a really pretty lady. Story can be seen maybe as overly simplistic (when compared to say Golgo13 series) but its goal is to entertain and provide us with the excellent air action and pursuit of the mysterious mercenaries our heroes go against.
Visually, it is great, crisp lines, lots of details and excellent coloring.
What this series always strives to do is give (more or less) real depiction of pilot's life and as real depiction of airplanes as possible. While it never gets to the level of Tanguy and Laverdure (these are magnificent books, with unprecedented level of detail), this comic is more inline with Johnny Hazard or Steve Canyon - realistic flying and airplanes, but story plot more on the thriller side with shady criminals, spies and mercenaries and of course femme fatales - baddies and goodies :) (who can forget Milton Cannif's femme fatales).
Very good action comic, although do get it with follow up volumes because on it's own it ends on the cliffhanger so you will be let down in same way as if watching very good TV show that gets cut in the middle.
I am definitely on the lookout for other books in the series.
Highly recommended.

Great artwork and an interesting little nod to the protagonists' apparent agelessness.
