Duke

A gritty, European crime saga set in the American South, Duke (2017–present, Le Lombard) follows a former hitman trying to escape his violent past. Written by Yves H. and Boom!, with stark, expressive art by Hermann, this 7-issue series stands out for its slow-burn tension and morally complex protagonist. A key work in the modern Franco-Belgian thriller tradition, it showcases Hermann’s signature style and the duo’s knack for noir storytelling.
