About the series
Derib’s Buddy Longway is a landmark Franco-Belgian western series that ran from 1977 to 2006, published by Carlsen. Spanning 20 issues, it follows the life of a solitary trapper in the 19th-century American frontier, distinguished by its intimate, character-driven focus and lyrical, naturalistic art. Created and primarily illustrated by Derib, with occasional writing contributions from Jens Peder Agger and François-Eric Grodin, the series is celebrated for its mature, humanistic exploration of survival, family, and the clash between wilderness and civilization.
