Hé, Nic, Tu Rêves ?

Nick #1

by Hermann Huppen, Morphée

"Dans le premier album, il se trouve aux prises avec l’explosif Capitaine Bang qui n’a qu’une idée en tête : mettre tous les amis de Nic dans un zoo. Mais notre petit héros ne l’entend pas de cette oreille et n’a de cesse de mettre des bâtons dans les roues de l’importun, ce qui le fait littéralement exploser de rage. La trame du récit sert avant tout à développer un monde onirique gentiment loufoque et poétique."

48 pages, Paperback

First published January 1, 1981

About the author

Hermann was born in 1938 in Bévercé (now a part of Malmedy) in Liège Province. After studying to become a furniture maker and working as interior architect, Hermann made his debut as comic book artist in 1964 in the comics magazine Spirou with a four page story. Greg noticed his talent and offered him to work for his studio. In 1966, he began illustrating the Bernard Prince series written by Greg, published in the comic magazine Tintin periodical. In 1969, also in collaboration with Greg, he began the western series Comanche. This appeared at the same time as other western series such as Blueberry.
Hermann began writing his own stories in 1977, starting the post-apocalyptic Jeremiah series, which is still produced today. In the same period, he also made three albums of Nick, inspired by Little Nemo in Slumberland, for Spirou.[1] In 1983 he began a new series, Les Tours de Bois-Maury, which is set in the Middle Ages and is less focused on action than his other works.
Hermann has also created many non-series graphic novels sometimes together with his son Yves H. One of them, Lune de Guerre, with a story by Jean Van Hamme, was later filmed as The Wedding Party by Dominique Deruddere.[2]
Hermann is characterized by a realistic style and stories that are both somber and angry, with a sense of disillusion with regards to the human character in general, and current society more specifically.

[Hugo · Rating 4 out of 5]

Es un homenaje a Windsor McCay y al pequeño Nemo, la historia es algo similar. Cada noche Nicolas sueña con un episodio relacionado con el Capitán Bang y como quiere secuestrar animales para su zoológico. Es algo que leería a mis hijos.
