Valse sporen

In Bruno Duhamel’s Valse sporen (2022–present, Saga Uitgaven), a lone author-artist crafts a taut, intimate drama set against the shifting landscapes of rural France. This single-issue comic from the Belgian publisher traces a chance encounter that upends the quiet life of a railway worker, exploring how buried secrets can derail even the most settled existence. Duhamel’s expressive, warm linework and layered storytelling mark this as a poignant addition to the European bande dessinée tradition.
