These are by classic Spanish scenarist Ángel Segura Moreno & artist José Ortiz, about an ultra-cynical survivor attempting to get by in a brutal, post-apoc world:

EDIT4: Below is page four, which got not-uploaded due to filters, or I-don't-know-what: https://i.imgur.com/nBg2TrI.jpeg

Pardon the short-form, here. I'm dealing with something at the moment, and will get back to y'all.

EDIT: There should be 12 pages in all. Please let me know if anything seems to be missing, so I can re-upload it. I did have to censor one page a little to get by the Imgur filter. Hopefully it worked.

EDIT2: More notes about the series in comments.

Now I'm looking for the series, nice post!

It's a bit hit-or-miss, frankly. The early series can be kind of clumsy, but at this point (early 90's) it was really cooking. (so, my point-- maybe skip the first three albums and go right to L'ultime ennemi, ~1989 or Atilla, ~1991)

Also, some more notes-- Hombre was not something that tried to be remotely 'clean, precise and calculated,' if that makes sense, but was more of a raw attempt to look at the beast-like sides of human nature, I'd say.

I first read this in Heavy Metal magazine, and I know it's been translated to other languages (about 5-6 books total), but I'm not sure where one can get it in English, these days.

EDIT3: I have a big list of my favorite post-apoc series at the evil empire, if that helps anyone out. It's [here].
