Duke

Over seven issues spanning 2017 to 2023, Le Lombard published Duke, a Western series by the acclaimed Belgian duo of writer Yves H. and artist Hermann. Following a lone lawman navigating a harsh, morally complex frontier, the series is a standout example of modern European comics, blending Hermann’s gritty, expressive artwork with Yves H.’s taut, character-driven storytelling. It matters as a late-career highlight from a legendary creative partnership, offering a lean, visceral take on the genre that feels both classic and contemporary.
