Le Train des Orphelins #4

Set against the hazy, amber-lit streets of an early twentieth-century American city, this fourth volume of Le Train des Orphelins centers on a young blonde boy strumming a small guitar beside a spirited woman gesturing warmly from a building's stoop, while a figure in the background hints at a world both bustling and uncertain. Subtitled Joey, the album promises a story rooted in the real history of orphan children transported westward in search of new lives — a chapter that writer Philippe Charlot and artist Xavier Fourquemin bring to the page with evident heart. Bamboo Édition's Grand Angle line continues to show why this series earns its devoted following.
