Questa serie ci racconta le avventure del cavaliere Aymar di Bois-Maury e del suo scudiero, che assieme a tanti altri personaggi, illustrano questa grande epopea situata all’epoca della presa di Gerusalemme. Aymar affronta e supera infinite prove e difficoltà, sorretto dalla ferma convinzione che un giorno ritroverà il suo castello che, si dice, “abbia le più belle torri di tutto il mondo cristiano”.
Nelle terre del signor Yvon de Portel tutto è desolazione. Isolato nel suo castello, il vecchio uomo si invaghisce della perversa Guillaumette che lo manipola a suo piacimento, mentre il suo più fedele servitore ha strani rapporti con una banda di ladri. Aymar incontra in questi luoghi dall’atmosfera pesante Alda, donna libera e fiera, che influirà in modo tangibile sul destino di questo cavaliere senza terra, che appare sempre di più come un guerriero capace di tutto.
Hermann fa di questa serie un capolavoro di narrazione, dove la potenza del suo disegno conduce i lettori in un Medio Evo di sangue e di polvere.

About the author
Hermann Huppen
417 books51 followersHermann 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.

Aymar regresa a un castillo donde se realizaban justas y combates entre caballeros, esta ocasion llega a pedir asilo y encuentra el castillo en deplorables condiciones, y ahora el rey con su hijo y mujer muertos tiene un amante que lo manipula. Esta mujer es del grupo de ladrones de German, que manipulan y saquean como parasitos el castillo. Aymay y su escudero lo descubren y son encerrados en un calabozo. La historia es muy tragica y es algo muy comun en gente de edad que ha logrado tener cierto estatus economico y perderlos todo en manos de algun vividor.

Et hop ! un triple retour de personnages secondaires pour cet album.
On retrouve Germain et Marcus, qui de simple voleurs sont devenus bandits de grands chemins et on investit un château "pacifiquement" en mettant dans le lit du châtelain une de leurs complices.
Mais manque de chance pour eux, le châtelain en question est un ami d'Aymar de Bois-Maury...
Un très bon album, tragique, mais aussi emplit d'émotions en tout genre, allant de l'amitié à l'amour, de la colère à la haine.
