Jeremiah #28

Hermann's long-running post-apocalyptic series returns with volume 28, "Esra va très bien," and the cover sets a tense, atmospheric tone. A blond young man clutching a pistol stands warily in what appears to be a rocky cave or cavern, while a smaller, cloaked figure crouches nearby — and looming above them both is a ghostly, claw-like form rendered in cool blue against the warm earthy tones of the stone. Every line of this cover, from composition to coloring, is entirely Hermann's own work, showcasing why he remains one of European comics' most distinctive storytelling voices in 2008.
