Jeremiah #32

Hermann's long-running post-apocalyptic series reaches its 32nd volume with "Le caïd," a title evoking underworld power and authority. The cover, entirely Hermann's work in pencils and inks, places Jeremiah — a steely-eyed man in a jacket and red tie, revolver in hand — against the looming, teal-scaled bulk of a massive reptilian creature that dominates the shadowy background. It's a quietly unsettling image that balances gritty human drama against something far more primal, exactly the kind of tension Hermann has made his signature across three decades of this series.
