Jeremiah #17

The seventeenth volume of Hermann's long-running post-apocalyptic series brings "Falsche Hoffnungen" ("False Hopes") to German readers via Carlsen Comics in 1994. The cover, rendered entirely by Hermann, sets a tense, atmospheric mood — a young blond figure crouches astride a heavy motorcycle in the foreground while a tall, gaunt figure in a leather jacket looms imposingly behind, the crumbling red-washed urban backdrop hinting at a world that has seen better days. It's a striking composition that captures the gritty, road-worn spirit that has made Jeremiah a standout of European comics.
