La Guerre des Lulus #3

Set against a backdrop of war-scarred buildings, this third volume of La Guerre des Lulus plunges readers into 1916 with a cover by Hardoc that pulses with urgency — a group of ragged children sprinting through rubble-strewn streets, a small dog bounding alongside them, while soldiers loom in the smoky distance behind. Written by Régis Hautière with artwork from Hardoc and Damien Cuvillier, "Le tas de briques" captures both the precariousness and the resilience of young lives caught up in the Great War. It's a striking, humanly compelling entry in this Franco-Belgian series that finds its drama not in the trenches, but in the small, desperate adventures of childhood amid catastrophe.
