About the author
Hermann Huppen
425 books53 followersHermann 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 was 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.

Uma história complexa passada no futuro. Yves H. tem uma capacidade incrível de criar argumentos complexos, mas inteligíveis. E a capacidade de Hermann em desenhar esses argumentos é igualmente incrível. Uma dupla fantástica, de facto.
Esta história não me disse tanto, pois é um bocado fantasiosa (devido ao facto de tratar de temas como espionagem industrial e clonagem), mas consigo distanciar-me desse facto e admirar a capacidade de criação destes dois autores que nunca deixam de surpreender.

You will enjoy this even though it was confusing at times and far-fetched at others.

Ben fan van het werk van Hermann (en YvesH.), maar niet direct van het sciencefiction-genre an sich...tja.

De visual francobelga típico, a história remete-nos para um incidente diplomático entre a China e os Estados Unidos da América que será resolvido com espionagem e contra-espionagem. Pelo meio encontramos agentes segredos que são clones, tecnologia de ponta e muitas manipulações. É uma história movimentada e carregada de acções à 007, mas que não cria grande envolvência com o leitor

Je suis fan de Hermann et je n'ai pas été déçu, le graphisme est toujours aussi réussi, réaliste, dynamique, précis, aux couleurs superbes.
Ici, avec son fils Yves au scénario, il s'aventure dans un genre qu'il a peu exploré, la science-fiction. Sauf qu'en fait, à part quelques voitures futuristes (assez réussies), et le cœur de l'intrigue elle-même, on se croirait dans un polar/une histoire d'espionnage ordinaire...
Bon, je n'ai pas été fan de l'histoire elle-même, même si elle est bien racontée. Mais dans l'ensemble, c'est un album intéressant.

China, en un futuro cercano. Un espia infiltrado en el servicio secreto chino roba una informacion para despues buscar asilo en la embajada americana. Cuando se celebra un baile, la seguridad de la embajada espera un golpe de los chinos para matar al espia con la informacion. En lo que entra en juego el agente Ditto, que tiene sus propios problemas.
En general la historia esta bien, pero hay algunos giros innecesarios para dramatizar.

Un "The Bourne identity" in salsa SF, molto bello.
Trama costruita molto bene, corredata da buoni disegni.
In alcuni casi i balloon portano via un pò troppo spazio ai disegni, ma forse questo è dovuto al fatto di raccontare tutto restando in un determinato numero di pagine.
Colpo di scena finale ad effetto.
