Die zwei Leben von Balduin

In this poignant 2017 one-shot from avant-verlag, writer-artist Fabien Toulmé explores the parallel lives of a man named Balduin, torn between the demands of his professional and personal worlds. The comic deftly uses a split narrative to contrast two possible paths, each shaped by a single, pivotal choice. Toulmé’s warm, clear-line art and empathetic storytelling make this a quietly powerful meditation on regret, family, and the roads not taken.
