Caatinga

Hermann’s Caatinga (1997–present, Le Lombard) is a stark, self-contained Western graphic novel that follows a lone gunslinger’s grim quest for redemption through the harsh, drought-stricken Brazilian backlands. Written and illustrated entirely by the celebrated Belgian cartoonist Hermann, this single-issue story showcases his signature raw, expressive linework and unflinching storytelling. A masterwork of European comic noir, it stands as a powerful, atmospheric meditation on violence and survival in a merciless landscape.
