Maurice le cowboy

Maurice le cowboy, a Belgian comic series launched in 1986 by Albin Michel, is the surreal, deadpan creation of artist Herr Seele. Over a single, enduring issue, it follows the absurdly quiet adventures of its titular cowboy in a world of minimalist gags and existential humor. A cult oddity, it matters for its stark, avant-garde approach to the Western genre, proving that a comic can be both sparse and deeply resonant.
