La légende de Manos Kelly

In this concise three-issue series from Les Humanoïdes Associés, Spanish artist Antonio Hernández Palacios brings a stark, painterly vision to the Old West through the eyes of Manos Kelly, a gunslinger whose legend unfolds across a brief, atmospheric arc. Published between 1980 and 1982, the series stands as a European take on the Western genre, distinguished by Palacios’s expressive, almost cinematic artwork that captures the harsh beauty and moral ambiguity of the frontier. A compact but resonant work for fans of Franco-Belgian comics and a showcase of Palacios’s distinctive style.
