Gueules Rouges - Enfant de la mine #[nn]

A striking tableau of labor and solidarity fills the cover of this 2018 French-language album from Idées+, as a young boy in a red cap stands at the center of a red-earthed mine trench, surrounded by fellow workers pushing ore carts along narrow rail tracks — an industrial headframe looming in the hazy background. The warm, earthy palette and grounded draftsmanship by Jeff Baud bring a quietly powerful human dimension to this story of mining life, scripted by Éric Stoffel with colors by Frédéric Allali. Gueules Rouges — Enfant de la mine looks to be a thoughtful, immersive read for fans of historical and social storytelling in the Franco-Belgian tradition.
