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 was 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.

[Math le maudit · Rating 5 out of 5]

retour en Europe pour le dernier tome de la série. Ayant rassemblé en terre sainte assez d'or pour lever une armée, Aymar revient à Bois-Maury pour récupérer son bien.

"Enfin, nous y voilà !" me direz-vous. et bien oui, nous y sommes. On va enfin savoir si les fameuses tours de Bois-Maury sont les plus belles de toute la chrétienté.

Ce dernier volet clôt de manière magistrale le cycle, avec des personnages toujours aussi forts et vrais, une histoire toujours aussi bien ficelée, et des tours de Bois-Maury... ma foi, je vous laisse la joie de la découverte si vous ne connaissez pas la série...

[Hugo · Rating 5 out of 5]

A pesar que hay nuevos volúmenes del Caballero de Bois-Maury, este es el final de la serie, los siguientes son variaciones o descendientes de Aymar. Me gusto como termino, como los personajes tan humanos pierden su calidad de héroes conforme transcurre la historia. Es un gran final.

A fitting end to the first cycle of a great serie
