Simon van de rivier

Set in the late 1970s through the 1980s, Simon van de rivier is a nine-issue Belgian series from Le Lombard that follows the adventures of its title character along the river. Written primarily by Alain Riondet and Claude Auclair, with Auclair also providing the artwork throughout the run, the comic blends a sense of naturalistic exploration with human drama. It stands as a lovingly crafted European adventure strip from a period rich in such storytelling.
