Trois motos... ou quatre

Jeremiah #17

by Hermann Huppen

En perpétuelle errance sur des terres dévastées, confrontés à d'autres survivants qui reproduisent à l'identique tous les travers qui ont déjà conduit la planète à sa destruction, Jeremiah le réfléchi et Kurdy la tête-brûlée ont l'art de mettre les pieds là où il ne faut pas. Dans ce monde anéanti par la folie des hommes, la règle du jeu, c'est la loi du plus fort, dans l'âpre violence d'un retour aux premiers âges.

Genres: Bande Dessinée, Comics, Graphic Novels, Dystopia

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.

[Koen Claeys · Rating 4 out of 5]

Één van de betere albums in deze reeks.

[Hugo · Rating 5 out of 5]

Un episodio bastante surrealista de Jeremiah, Kurdy se mete en problemas en un bar y "ayuda" a un tipo sin piernas que corteja a la camarera, este le ofrece su casa para esconderse. En la ciudad varios motociclistas están buscando a una persona, resulta ser Stone-B, un viejo conocido, que dio un golpe y se lo guardo todo. El final es muy bueno.

[Math le maudit · Rating 5 out of 5]

Un des titres les plus choc de jeremiah ! Outre la violence inhérente à la série, le cynisme désabusé et la cruauté gratuite qui l'accompagne font de cet épisode un des meilleurs à mon goût. La fin est dure...

[Johan · Rating 3 out of 5]

Een zelfs voor de serie behoorlijk geweldadig en cynisch verhaal, maar de poging om er wat humor in te steken voelt te geforceerd aan.
