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.
Martha en Woody proberen Jeremiah en Lena zover te krijgen dat ze trouwen i.p.v. "in zonde" samen te leven. Dan blijkt dat Kurdy ook in dezelfde stad rondloopt en betrokken was bij een mislukte louche zaak waarin Jeremiah langzaam meegezogen wordt. Jeremiah zal moeten kiezen.
Ik heb deze strip enkele keren gelezen in de jaren 80 en 90, maar hij beantwoordde nu niet meer aan mijn verwachtingen. Ofwel heeft de reeks de tand des tijds niet goed doorstaan, ofwel zijn mijn voorkeuren gewijzigd ofwel is het omdat ik de afgelopen maanden veel betere strips heb gelezen.
Este debio ser el #10, pero en castellano se publico como el #11. Jeremiah esta apunto de casarse y cuando esta con los preparativos, se topa con Kurdy en el pueblo, odiado por su futura esposa. En el pueblo se esta preparando un desfile, y Kurdy parece esta metido en problemas segun un viejo conocido de Jeremiah, por lo que este subestimandolo decide ayudarlo, arriesgando su futuro matrimonio.
Comme son nom et la couverture l'indique, voici le retour de Kurdy dont l'absence aura été très passagère. L'histoire mêle intrigue et magouilles politiques, tout en ménageant un volet plus psychologique au personnage de Jeremiah, tiraillé entre sa promesse de ne plus revoir Kurdy et l'amitié qui les lie.
