“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, bad-faith and hostile efforts will not be tolerated here.

I particularly love this first one because, as primarily a watercolor & gauche artist, sometimes artists (the great Hugo Pratt, here) make it hard to figure out what the hell art materials they used exactly, in which we observers sometimes just totally lame-out and shout "mixed media, dude!"

But I'm not sure I totally believe it.

Incidentally, I'm a HUGE fan of female leads, and to me, this one kinda recapitulates James Bond's primary love interests in, uh... what was that film? EDIT: It was Live and Let Die, super-fun film IMO.

Yes yes, once again it's NOT BD, and honestly, I'm really not much of a manga fan outside Ghibli. But this collection quite caught my eye, and seemingly, for many Euros, too. From what I can tell, it's called The Art of Mitsume "World of 2," published by Noeve Grafx in Europe.


Ex-libris Azimut, Manie Ganza, Jean-Baptiste Andréae, vent d'Ouest - Hobby Folie!

Sadly, I don't know this series at all (well, what else is new, Johnny), but I loved how this picture plays around with almost a tradition of glam media, but I also Iike how the photog is a sort of R2D2 attempting to capture "Marilyn" in the 'great pose,' you know?

I first saw this in the American Heavy Metal magazine. It's of course, Moebius playing around with *everything*, such as his penmanship 'hatching-work' (how the lines intersect), the beautiful colors, the panel-layout, and just... whoof.

It's also oddly funny to me... I.e., "Arzach" might have met his eternal doom right here, but I reckon him more like "Den," by Richard Corben. I.e., our collective love for them will just keep resurrecting them endlessly, mais non...?

Note: I've tried to help make our sidebar more easily-searchable for results lately, and we certainly have more some Den & Arzach searchable posts in our past.

That said, you can also just brute-force it like this if you like, via google:
