Buddy Longway

Set in the 19th-century American frontier, Buddy Longway is a European comic series by Swiss creator Derib, published by Uitgeverij Helmond from 1974 to 1978. Running seven issues, it follows a solitary trapper navigating the harsh wilderness, distinguished by its quiet, humanistic approach to the Western genre. Derib’s expressive artwork and thoughtful storytelling give the series a reflective, character-driven tone that stands apart from more action-oriented cowboy tales.
