Pour la vie #[nn]

A tender, quietly affecting cover from Stassi and Goupil sets the tone for this 2011 Casterman release — a young woman and man sit together in an open field, she resting a gentle hand on his arm as he holds an open book, the whole scene rendered in soft, understated watercolor tones. Pour la vie ("For Life") promises an intimate, human story grounded in everyday connection rather than spectacle. Published under Casterman's Écritures imprint, this is the kind of bande dessinée that earns its place on the shelf through warmth and restraint.
