Tea for two

In this brief, two-issue series from 2011 to 2013, Belgian publisher Le Lombard presented a self-contained story where a chance encounter over tea leads two strangers into a delicate, quietly observed drama. The series is a minor but polished example of European bande dessinée, notable for its intimate scope and the restrained, character-driven storytelling that the format allows. While its run was short, it stands as a focused, atmospheric vignette from a publisher known for literary graphic novels.
