Ma maman est en Amérique, elle a rencontré Buffalo Bill #[nn]

Published by Gallimard in 2007, this French graphic novel from writer Jean Regnaud and artist Émile Bravo presents a quietly affecting image: a small boy in a red-striped shirt stands alone against a nearly bare white cover, his posture carrying a gentle, unspoken weight. Bravo's deceptively simple linework gives this lone figure an immediate emotional pull, hinting at a story of childhood, absence, and imagination. A tender and beautifully understated work that speaks volumes before you've even opened the cover.
