Jeremiah Johnson #3

The third chapter of Soleil's Jeremiah Johnson arrives with a cover that commands attention — a weathered, long-bearded mountain man looms large in the foreground, two revolvers crossed before him, while a line of menacing riders on horseback moves through a landscape consumed by fire and smoke behind him. The tension between the lone figure and that approaching mounted group sets a brooding, high-stakes frontier mood that feels earned rather than overblown. With the creative team of Duval, Pécau, Jadson, and Sayago, this 2022 release makes a strong case for the French bande dessinée tradition doing the American West proud.
