Le Boche #1

This opening volume of Le Boche from Glénat sets a quietly powerful tone, with Stalner and Bardet's cover depicting a blond man carrying a dark-haired boy on his shoulders against a pastoral French countryside — a deceptively tender image that hints at a story rooted in wartime complexity and uneasy bonds. The muted, earthy palette and rural backdrop give the scene a melancholy weight that feels entirely fitting for a 1990 Franco-Belgian album titled L'Enfant de Paille. A compelling start to what promises to be a deeply human series.
