Dent d'ours #3

A young boy clutching a wooden toy airplane stands alone before the rubble-strewn Brandenburg Gate, his back to us, as a Luftwaffe liaison aircraft banks overhead against a blood-red sky — a quietly haunting image that sets the mood for this third volume of Yann and Henriet's wartime series. "Werner" continues Dent d'ours with the same atmospheric tension the series is known for, placing childhood in the shadow of conflict with striking visual economy. Published by Dupuis in 2015, this album is a compelling chapter in one of Franco-Belgian comics' more thoughtful explorations of World War II.
