Buddy Longway

Derib’s long-running Western saga Buddy Longway follows a trapper and his family through the 19th-century American frontier, blending adventure with a quiet, humanistic focus on survival and relationships. Originally published in French, this 2010 Finix edition collects the series' earlier material, with Derib providing both writing and art, joined by Oriol Schreibweis on script. A cornerstone of European comics, the series is treasured for its atmospheric wilderness and nuanced character work, offering a thoughtful alternative to more action-driven Westerns.
