Het konvooi #1

Beroy and Kid Toussaint launch this Belgian album series with a cover that immediately communicates the weight of history: a man, a woman clutching an infant, and a young girl walk the center of railway tracks toward the viewer, while a crowd of figures — some in military uniform — looms in the shadowy background behind them. Published by Casterman in 2012, Het gewicht van het verleden ("The Weight of the Past") promises a story steeped in wartime tension and human stakes. Beroy's detailed linework and atmospheric colors set a tone that is both intimate and quietly harrowing from the very first page.
