Biography

Hermann was born in 1938 in Bévercé near Liège.De Weyer, Geert (2005). "Hermann". In België gestript, pp. 124-125. Tielt: Lannoo.] 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". 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 his other works.

Hermann has also created many non-series graphic novels sometimes together with his son Yves H. One of them, "Liens de Sang", with a story by Jean Van Hamme, was later filmed as "The Wedding Party" by Dominique Deruddere. [imdb title|0382572]

Hermann is characterized by a realistic style and stories that are both sombre and angry, with a sense of disillusion with regards to the human character in general, and current society more specifically.
