Duke #3

A lone rider on horseback cuts a striking silhouette against a brooding teal-drenched sky, top hat and pistol in hand, rain seemingly closing in around him — Hermann's atmospheric cover work for Duke #3 sets a mood that is equal parts elegiac and tense. Published by Le Lombard in 2019, this third volume of the Dutch-language series carries the evocative title Ik ben een schaduw ("I Am a Shadow"), written by Yves H. and brought to life entirely by Hermann's pencils, inks, and colors. The back cover offers a quieter counterpoint — two figures silhouetted near a campfire — making this a beautifully composed package for fans of European western comics.
