Jeremiah en Kurdy raken betrokken bij een gezinshereniging, die meer weg heeft van een hernieuwde kennismaking na 15 jaar. Ze brengen een moeder en haar zoon bij haar voormalige echtgenoot en hun dochter Alex, in een huis op een afgelegen plek aan de westkust. Alex en haar vader zijn behoorlijk verrast door de hereniging met de moeder, die sindsdien honderd pond zwaarder is geworden. De reünie wordt verstoord door een plotselinge aanval door Japanse commando's. Klein Alex is erg mooi en aantrekkelijk, wat de helden ertoe brengt om te blijven hangen...
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.
