Kaliber #4

Baru and Pierre Pelot's Het Kortste Eind arrives in the Kaliber/Casterman line with a cover that sets a quietly affecting tone — two weathered older men flank a small child clutching a cat, all three standing in a grey, snow-dusted winter street. The muted palette and careworn faces suggest a story rooted in everyday hardship and the stubborn warmth that survives it. A compelling addition to the 2008 Kaliber catalog for readers drawn to grounded, human-scale storytelling.
