Bouncer

The Bouncer series, launched in 2017 by Arte de Autor, is a European graphic novel collaboration between visionary writer Alejandro Jodorowsky and artist François Boucq, who also contributes to the writing. Set in a gritty, mythic Western landscape, the story follows a one-armed gunslinger whose violent past and stoic code define his role as a saloon bouncer in a lawless town. Across its two issues, the series blends Jodorowsky's signature surreal, philosophical storytelling with Boucq's expressive, detailed artwork, creating a stark and atmospheric tale of honor and brutality. It stands as a distinctive, creator-driven entry in the modern European comics tradition, showcasing two masters at the height of their craft.
