Calypso #25

In "Dès cet instant," Félix Mas crafts a quietly magnetic tale of chance and chance alone: a woman down to her last francs, facing eviction and heartbreak, finds herself caught in a downpour and seeking shelter in a dusty auction hall. What begins as a moment of desperation takes an unexpected turn when a single, accidental sneeze is mistaken for a bid—launching her into a chain of events she never saw coming. With art by Félix Mas, this 1968 issue captures the quiet magic of ordinary moments turning extraordinary.
