Mon copain secret #[nn]

A quietly poignant cover sets the tone for this 2012 release from Éditions de la Gouttière — a small child in a red jacket sits alone at the top of a seesaw, hugging their knees while autumn leaves drift below and paper birds flutter around them, perfectly capturing a mood of solitary imagination. The gentle, expressive linework is the work of Alain Kokor, with the story crafted by Loïc Dauvillier, a pairing that promises both warmth and emotional depth. Mon Copain Secret looks like exactly the kind of thoughtful, tender Franco-Belgian all-ages comics storytelling that stays with you long after the last page.
