Undertaker

Jonas Crow works as an undertaker in a harsh frontier landscape. A job can quickly become a struggle over money, reputation and survival. Dorison and Meyer began the series with Le Mangeur d’or in January 2015.

The occupation gives the Western a memorable angle: Crow arrives after violence, then uncovers the forces that produced it. His own compromised past complicates any claim to innocence.

Revisionist Western, mystery and revenge story overlap. The plots use travel to expose how law and power operate in isolated communities.

Meyer’s expressive figures and wide landscapes turn movement across the West into visual drama. The color work with Delabie gives dust, heat and night scenes distinct moods.
