Le Cousin Lindford

Jeremiah #21

by Hermann Huppen

Apparaît une sorte d'humain avec des lobes d'oreilles qui n'en finissent pas, de grands yeux sans cils et une crête de chair ondulant sur le crâne. À moto, Jeremiah et Kurdy débarquent non loin de là. Ils n'auraient pas dû. Fréquenter le cousin Lindford, copie conforme de l'homme aux lobes démesurés, n'est pas bon pour leur santé. Car la chasse aux clones est ouverte, et parmi les chasseurs se trouve un certain Stonebridge, une vieille connaissance...

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.

Reviews

[Johan · Rating 2 out of 5]

Jeremiah en Kurdy komen toevallige het bestaan te weten van een geheim en illegaal labo waar genetische experimenten worden gedaan. Wie kunnen ze vertrouwen? Ze lopen een ouwe bekende tegen het lijf die voor de tegenpartij werkt en met wie ze nog een appeltje te schillen hebben en vice versa. Klinkt spannender dan het is.

[Math le maudit · Rating 4 out of 5]

Retour en force et en haine de Stone-B et manipulations génétiques au sommaire de cet album. Le tout saupoudré de corruption des élites, comme souvent.

Un tome dérangeant, mais qui donne aussi à réfléchir.

[Hugo · Rating 4 out of 5]

Un gobierno peleado entre dos bandos y con un cuerpo de policía diminuido y humillado, se enfrentan con el escape de un experimento de clonación. Se hace una referencia al año en que se esta, es una pista interesante.

Read at the same time as Atwood's Year of the Flood.
Like an echo in two different art forms.
