Jeremiah #40

A young, shirtless figure sits cross-legged amid rubble and ash, clutching a helmet, while a ghostly face looms in the smoky grey background — Hermann's cover art for Jeremiah #40 is quietly haunting in its restraint. Published by Dupuis in 2023, this fortieth volume, subtitled De vermiste ("The Missing"), finds the long-running post-apocalyptic series as atmospheric and compelling as ever. Hermann handles every line and shade himself, and that singular creative vision gives the image a melancholy stillness that draws you straight in.
