Les Guerres silencieuses #[nn]

Three soldiers — one standing in a military jeep cradling a rifle, two more leaning against its hood — are silhouetted against a burning desert sunset in Jaime Martin's Les Guerres silencieuses, published by Dupuis under the Aire Libre imprint in 2013. The muted, earthy palette and the quiet tension between the figures perfectly capture the mood promised by that title — wars that are felt rather than heard. Martin's assured linework makes this a compelling addition to Aire Libre's tradition of thoughtful, human-scale storytelling.
