Ortie West

In just two issues (1990–1991), writer-artist Bourguignon introduced readers to a quiet, offbeat heroine for Les Humanoïdes Associés. Ortie West stands apart from the publisher's more cosmic or adult fare, offering a small, character-driven tale rooted in everyday strangeness. This brief series showcases Bourguignon's singular, understated storytelling—a gentle snapshot of a creator’s voice that remains a curious footnote in the publisher's eclectic catalog.
