De wezentrein #5

The fifth chapter of Philippe Charlot and Xavier Tourquemin's De Wezentrein arrives with a lively, dust-kicking cover set in a rough-and-tumble frontier town — a crowd of scrappy kids swarms a wooden boardwalk and muddy street in front of a drugstore and Callahan's, all elbows and energy in the heart of "Cowpoke Canyon." The scene practically buzzes with the chaos and camaraderie of young orphans navigating a wild Western world, rendered in Tourquemin's warmly detailed ligne claire style. This 2015 installment looks like a thoroughly entertaining ride through the American frontier for fans of historical adventure and coming-of-age storytelling.
