Publishing in the monthly magazine (A Suivre), Tardi decided to break off temporarily after the ninth chapter of his adaptation of 120, Rue de la Gare by Léo Malet. Hence this illustration, which was specially drawn for this issue of the magazine and replaces the last two panels of page 102. This is why, in (A Suivre) no. 105, page 102 concludes with the announcement ?You will get to know more if you read the second part... etc...? And the reader is thus obliged to wait seven months, for (A Suivre) no. 112, to learn how the story continues, as the train in which Burma is travelling enters the occupied zone.
