Capitaine Apache

Capitaine Apache, published by Editions du Taupinambour from 2013 to 2019, is an eight-issue French comic series that reimagines the Western through a surreal, poetic lens. Created by writer and artist Nicolas Presl, the series follows a mysterious, masked gunslinger known only as the Captain, whose adventures blend stark frontier violence with dreamlike, often absurdist imagery. Its stark black-and-white artwork and philosophical tone set it apart from traditional Westerns, earning a devoted following for its raw, unconventional storytelling.
