The Vagabonds #1

In "Tribal Rituals, Part One: On a Mission," Josh Neufeld spins a playful courtroom satire where his own artistic legacy is put on trial, with Tintin himself serving as the prosecutor. The story humorously traces Neufeld’s lifelong homage to Hergé, the creator of Tintin, from childhood sketches to his professional work—revealing how deeply the Belgian cartoonist’s influence shaped his style. With every panel drawn, inked, colored, and lettered by Neufeld himself, the issue is a self-aware love letter to his artistic roots, rendered in his signature clean, expressive line. The cover by Neufeld captures the scene’s witty tone with a sharp, stylized sketch of the courtroom showdown.
