Het echte verhaal van de Far West #6

Part of Standaard Uitgeverij's "Het echte verhaal van de Far West" series, this 2024 sixth volume brings writer Marie Bardiaux-Vaïente and artist Gaëlle Hersent together to tell the story of one of the American West's most compelling figures. Hersent's cover says it all: a self-assured Calamity Jane strides down a dusty frontier street, rifle slung over her shoulder, cartridge belt cinched at her waist, wide-brimmed hat shading a determined face — while a illustrated broadsheet bearing her likeness tumbles at her feet, hinting at the gap between legend and lived reality. It's a striking image that promises a grounded, human portrait of the woman behind the myth.
