“BD” refers to Franco-Belgian comics, but let's open things up to include ALL Euro comics and GN's. Euro-style work from around the world is also welcome!

* BD = "Bandes dessinées"
* BDT = Bedetheque
* GN = graphic novel
* LBK = Lambiek
* LC = "Ligne claire"

Please DO: 1) follow good 'netiquette' and 2) the four simple rules of lemm.ee (this instance) when posting and commenting. As for extracts, they're fine, but don't link to pirated downloads.

MODERATION: If you happen to make a mistake upon the above, then please don't worry about it. We'll likely just laugh it off and let you know. OTOH, obvious bad-faith and hostile efforts will not be tolerated here.

For posting tips, including how to handle NSFW and personal content, see the FAQ below.

The designated language here is English, with a traditional bias towards French. When posting foreign-language content, please DO include helpful context for English-speakers.

Thanks for sharing back and forth @[email protected] and @[email protected].

Loulou, I've subbed to your two communities, and of course-- all hail the mighty instance-runner! :D

Heey thank you!

A very nice community you have started here, I love "European" comics, especially from the -70 -80 -90 (but no Ranxerox ?!!). There is just nothing like it.

Good luck, and feel free to cross post Moebius to Moebius Art of course :-)

Will do.

And, hmm... the only Ranxerox stuff I've read was in Heavy Metal magazine in the 90's, and I found it gratuitously violent. Feel free to recommend something else from that series, and I'll take another look.

No you are quite right, but the three volumes (the third directed by French Alain Chabat (yeah the comedian!) as Tamburini was no longer there) are a cornerstone on which lot of others built.

I guess for me it also represents the time when you could do whatever you wanted, which lots of creators did, but Liberatoire & Tamburini really went farther than anyone before or after.

For good or bad.
