About the author

Hermann was born in 1938 in Bévercé (now a part of Malmedy) in Liège Province. After studying to become a furniture maker and working as interior architect, Hermann made his debut as comic book artist in 1964 in the comics magazine Spirou with a four page story. Greg noticed his talent and offered him to work for his studio. In 1966, he began illustrating the Bernard Prince series written by Greg, published in the comic magazine Tintin periodical. In 1969, also in collaboration with Greg, he began the western series Comanche. This appeared at the same time as other western series such as Blueberry.
Hermann began writing his own stories in 1977, starting the post-apocalyptic Jeremiah series, which is still produced today. In the same period, he also made three albums of Nick, inspired by Little Nemo in Slumberland, for Spirou.[1] In 1983 he began a new series, Les Tours de Bois-Maury, which is set in the Middle Ages and is less focused on action than his other works.
Hermann has also created many non-series graphic novels sometimes together with his son Yves H. One of them, Lune de Guerre, with a story by Jean Van Hamme, was later filmed as The Wedding Party by Dominique Deruddere.[2]
Hermann is characterized by a realistic style and stories that are both somber and angry, with a sense of disillusion with regards to the human character in general, and current society more specifically.

[Frédéric · Rating 2 out of 5]

Impressive storytelling and atmosphere (the swamp scenes are simply amazing), as always with Hermann, but the swamp mutants and abrupt ending didn't do it for me.

70s motels and mutants... whats not to like?

[Johan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Eén van de meer fantasy Jeremiah-verhalen met gemuteerde mensen. Kurdy ruikt een manier om snel en makkelijk geld te verdienen en Jeremiah mag het weeral eens uitleggen. Ongewild ontketenen ze weeral eens een revolutie.

[Math le maudit · Rating 4 out of 5]

Nouvelle incursion dans le fantastique avec cet épisode charnière de Jeremiah.

L'opposition de style entre les deux héros atteint son paroxysme dans cet album, qui marquera une rupture dans leurs relations amicales.

Les "créatures" qui vivent dans le marais où se déroule la majeure partie de l'histoire resteront mystérieuses jusqu'au bout, de même que leur étrange symbiose avec le-dit marais...

[Hugo · Rating 4 out of 5]

En esta edicion se nota a los protagonistas mayores, un madurez mas exhibida de Jeremiah en comparacion con el caracter caotico de Kurdy. En esta ocasion Kurdy secuestra a una hija de un magnate para pedir rescate, sin avisarle a Jeremiah, y al escapar entran en un pantano muy peculiar.
