Buddy Longway

Set in the rugged American frontier, Buddy Longway is a European comic series by Swiss creator Derib, with later stories co-written by Klaus Jöken. First published in 1991 by Egmont Ehapa, the series follows a trapper and his family through a respectful, humanistic lens, emphasizing survival and cultural encounters over sensationalism. Derib’s distinctive, expressive artwork and grounded storytelling distinguish it as a thoughtful entry in the Western genre.
