About the series
A quiet, melancholy Western set in the late 19th century, Jonathan Cartland follows its wandering trapper protagonist through a series of reflective adventures across the American frontier. First published by Sherpa in 2017, this 6-issue series reprints the classic European strip by writer Laurence Harlé and artist Michel Blanc-Dumont, whose lush, detailed artwork brings the harsh beauty of the wilderness to life. A standout of the Franco-Belgian Western tradition, it matters for its thoughtful, character-driven storytelling that eschews gunfights for a deeper look at solitude and survival.
