The Desert Peach Collection, Volume One

“The Desert Peach is such an original work. Most of the stories take place during WWII, in North Africa, among German soldiers under the command of Colonel Pfirsich Rommel, the brother of Erwin Rommel, the famous ‘Desert Fox.’ Pfirsich is probably one of the most interesting characters in comics. If only all fiction tried to be as honest and open-minded as this, I’m naive enough to think, the world would be a better place. After all, fiction shapes our dreams and aspirations. And we could all do worse than let ourselves dream of having tea in the North African desert with a man as utterly charming as Pfirsich Rommel.” — Francois Peneaud: The Gay Comics List
