Swedish Galago is back once again with an action-packed issue of comics. Super great Liv Strömqvist disses Cornelis Vreeswijk, Italian Andrea Bruno tells a story about kids and war, Finnish Amanda Vähämäki has the most wonderful style, Knut Larsson is featured with the magical "Triton", Eva Björkstrand is cool.

La Douleur by Marguerite Duras

This is the horror.

Of war and of what comes after; the time that passes between war and peace.

I lived with these stories during my short trip to Paris; the hours between learning about the sudden loss of a dear friend on the bus from Beauvais to the city, and returning home to the devastating cold of the Stockholm streets. It may sound strange, but it was truly a comfort in a weird way.

Rest in Peace, hermanolito. I love you, tú sabes.
