Die Abenteuer von Freddy Lombard

Yves Chaland’s sleek, retro-futuristic style defines this German-language series, which collects the adventures of the globe-trotting, wisecracking Freddy Lombard. Originally written by Chaland with Yann and later Helmut Mennicken, the series launched in 1991 under Carlsen Comics, bringing Chaland’s signature “clear line” aesthetic and playful, cinematic storytelling to a single, self-contained issue. A key entry in the European bande dessinée tradition, it showcases Chaland’s influence on modern comic art.
