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.

Reviews

[Michael · Rating 4 out of 5]

Skal den have tre - skal den have fire?
Historien er den samme - de kommer til en ny by, der er nogle problemer med damerne, de kommer op og toppes med nogle urimelige typer - denne gang nogle klassiske gangstere og det hele munder ud i et ordentlig spektakel.
Den får fire - tegningerne er sprøde, historien glider afsted og det er god underholdning.
Som med det meste han laver, så er der mange billeder der kunne komme i ramme.
Mesteren er endnu ikke træt

Een verhaal over gangs die door middel van wedstrijden de wijken van een stad onder elkaar verdelen. Goed verhaal, wat druk en voor de tweede keer op rij is het Kurdy die op de versiertoer mag.

[Hugo · Rating 4 out of 5]

Kurdy y Jeremiah viajan en un barco a una region donde varios bandos se disputan la supremacia de la mafia local con una lucha a muerte, pero al estilo lucha libre. Kurdy se siente atraido por la novia de uno de los matones, lo cual lo tiene sin cuidado, hasta que este se entera.

[Math le maudit · Rating 4 out of 5]

Une belle histoire d'amour et de vengeance, sur fond de lutte d'influence entre clans mafieux.

Kurdy se révèle surprenant, et Jeremiah toujours aussi fidèle en amitié.
