Les Jours Heureux #2

The cover of this 2016 Le Lombard release draws you in immediately: a pale-skinned man in a white shirt cradles an unconscious or injured dark-skinned child against a backdrop of lush tropical greenery and distant flames consuming a building. In the shadowed foreground, a group of figures gathers near an old car, hinting at unresolved tension. Warnauts and Raives bring their signature painterly warmth to this second volume of Les Jours Heureux, making it a compelling continuation of what is clearly a deeply human, emotionally charged story set in colonial Africa.
