Wyoming, 1868. Ambrosius Van Deer has come to Fort Laramie to meet Jess Chisum, a young man who claims he’s found Van Deer’s nephew Eddie. Ten years before, Edwyn Van Deer disappeared after his family was killed in a Lakota raid. Proof of his identity: a silver watch with a portrait of his parents. But fate has other plans than a happy family reunion, and the events of that day will set in motion a tragedy 15 years in the making.

The partnership behind the phenomenal Thorgal, also released in English by Cinebook, reunite to reignite the Western genre in this extra-length drama. Rosinski introduces nuances of sepia and pale blues and greys to give his matured artwork a gritty period flavour and reflect the landscapes, settings and the torn emotions of the protagonists. The rhythm of his comics pages is interrupted periodically by impressive full-bleed, full-colour paintings. Whether there will be a follow-up is unclear but doesn’t matter - Western stands tall in the saddle, a compelling, one-off, stand-alone tale by a writer and artist in their mature prime.
