This comes from a fun, rollicking, 8-tome adventure series scripted by Alejandro Jodorowsky. The premise involves a boy born without arms & legs but with a fierce willpower, who finds ways to reverse some of his infirmities by going on various quests, which also tend to involve the fate of his very world. It’s not as dark as some of Jodo’s other stuff, reminding me more of the Arzach series.

Tragically, the artist (Arnaud Dombre) lost his life around the time the last book was being finished up, which was turned in to a rather fascinating memorial to him in the final pages, the likes of which I’ve never seen before. Some ‘Blackadder & co. making their final push’ type of energy, if that rings any bells.
