Boule à zéro #8

From Ernst and Zidrou comes this touching installment of Boule à zéro, subtitled Le fantôme de la chambre 612. The cover draws you in immediately: a small, bald child in a red outfit sits cross-legged and contemplative inside a porthole window, the hospital room setting visible behind him, rendered with quiet warmth against the cool industrial metal of the frame. It's a beautifully understated image that captures the series' gentle heart, and this 2020 Bamboo Édition volume looks like another moving chapter in this beloved Franco-Belgian series.
