Hard Times #[nn]

A lone figure — a young person in work clothes and a cap — stands dwarfed beneath the massive wheels of a train, surrounded by dry grass under a pale, industrial sky. The image, rendered with quiet power by Jaime Martín, sets a tone of vulnerability and perseverance that feels deeply human. Published by Dupuis in 2010, Hard Times promises a grounded, emotionally resonant story told with real artistic conviction.
