Old Pa Anderson

In this stark, introspective series from Le Lombard, writer Yves H. and artist Hermann explore the quiet, difficult twilight of a man named Old Pa Anderson, whose life is upended by a sudden, life-altering event. Launched in 2016, the story is a masterclass in restrained, European graphic storytelling, with Hermann’s gritty, expressive linework grounding every moment in raw, unflinching humanity. A single-issue work, it matters as a potent example of the mature, character-driven drama that defines the Franco-Belgian comics tradition.
