“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"

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.

These appear to be raw covers, in which you can still see marginal annotations.

Claudio Villa, Angelo Stano, Bruno Brindisi, Corrado Roi, and Claudio Castellini are all artists who worked on this surreal, noirish, long-running Italian horror series.

I've read four of the 100-page books so far. An introduction, plus my thoughts are here.

These pieces were found at a nice Tumblr blog which covers BD, manga, and animation genres.

Freakin loved theses series. Sometimes when i feel down I would read them again.

Its pretty edgy but with a healthy dose of self deprecating humor to not take itself too serously.

I think my favorite was il castello della paura, it was the story that really got me into theses series.
