SHERMAN (Griffo/Desberg) 2011-2018

"Here on earth, everything has its price!"

Self-made man Jay Sherman has long hoped that his son Robert will become the next president of the United States. But then a dramatic phone call follows. Jay learns that his son has been murdered. In addition, he is threatened: "we will take all your money and then we will kill your daughter Jeannie." Jay's apartment is already flying in the air. So no empty threats. Jay tells Eva Cruz (FBI) his remarkable life story. And our Eva thinks those confessions are all normal? Because Jay Sherman really wasn't such a good boy!

The covers of this series are really an asset. They look like posters from the world of film noir. Real collector's items. The screenplay is addictive. We are just as curious as Eva Cruz, but we are of course a bit more critical. Jay's enemies are many, so you're spoiled for choice. Artist Griffo is a professional, as we already know from 'Empire USA' and 'SOS Geluk', among others. The structure of the screenplay by Stephen Desberg (Black Op, De Schorpioen) is very ingenious. You can't put this series aside. The wartime has done Jay no harm. But owning Nazi money as the spoils of war is asking for trouble. Daughter Jeannie is certainly not proud of her father's wealth. By the way, she works for the secret service and that leads to frictions.

For the new diptych (album 7 and 8) Magda Seron (Het Kleine Farewell, Giel and Maria, Charly) takes over the drawing work. We are now twenty years later and Jeannie tracks down fugitive Nazi criminals. But she is suspected of murdering her husband Ludwig Melchior. Talk about a surprise. They were born for each other, weren't they? Daughter Kundry also has the necessary problems. One person still wants to receive Jeannie. Desberg knows how to keep us in suspense until the last print.
