Lonesome

In this gritty, atmospheric Western series from Hjemmet / Egmont, writer Jens E. Røsåsen and writer-artist Yves Swolfs craft a stark tale of survival and solitude in the American frontier. Launched in 2020, Lonesome follows a lone rider navigating a harsh, unforgiving landscape, with Swolfs’ detailed art bringing the desolate beauty and danger of the Old West to life. Though only a single issue has been released, the series stands out for its European take on the genre, blending classic Western themes with a modern, cinematic sensibility. It matters as a testament to the enduring appeal of the Western in international comics, offering a fresh, visually compelling entry from two accomplished storytellers.
