Ils quittèrent les terres brumeuses du Nord, marchant nus-pieds dans les chemins arides, ivres de soleil, affaiblis par la faim… Ils cheminaient vers la Terre Sainte, pèlerins de misère protégés par Aymar de Bois-Maury.
Ils partirent à la rencontre de Dieu et rencontrèrent le diable… peut-être s’appelait-il William ?…
Peut-être était-il à l’image de ‘homme, orgueilleux et faible, couard et vaniteux, assassin et parjure à l’honneur des chevaliers…

About the author

Hermann Huppen

417 books51 followers
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.

Le début de leur chemin de croisade. Un épisode à-travers les Balkans montrant la réalité du trajet effectué par les troupes croisées et de ce qu'elles ont pu effectuer sur leur chemin... Une bonne immersion dans une période des croisades méconnue. Et toujours une super aventure avec le chevalier Aymar de Bois-Maury.

El caballero de Bois-Maury pide al padre de Sir William que puede ir a las cruzadas, este es un viejo amigo y en una noche de borrachera le concede el favor. Al viajar a Flandes, el caballero de Bois-Maury cae enfermo y tiene que dejar que Sir William vaya solo con el convoy a tierra santa. Al creer proxima su muerte su escudero Olivier es tentado por un caballero que acaba de perder a su escudero enfermo, este caballero despues tendra mas peso en la historia, su nombre es Heindrik y a pesar de estar en camino tambien a tierra santa, no es muy creyente. El caballero de Bois-Maury tiene que seguir su camino con un convoy de rezagados y al llegar a Hungria encuentran pedazos del escudo de Sir William y una aldea misteriosa donde un sacerdote (que parece San Charbel) los hospeda. Los dibujos me siguen impresionando, hay unos paisajes hermosos.

Voici Aymar et Olivier en route pour la terre sainte, en compagnie d'un noble anglais William (rencontré dans le tome précédent) et d'Hendrick un chevalier flamand.



Le voyage sera bien sûr semé d'embûches et l'album, qui se déroule entièrement dans les Balkans est l'occasion de planches magnifiques, et d'un récit, une fois encore, sombre et violent.



On en redemande.
