“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.

Spirou (literally "squirrel") is one of the most venerable BD characters & franchises, going through something like nine creative teams or single creators over the years. Part of the reason for this turnover is that the originator, Robert Velter, sold the rights to Dupuis early in its history.

Spirou's uniform is based on being a humble lift (elevator) operator, but it was artist-writer André Franquin who turned the character in to much more of an adventure figure. I understand that the current team (Yoann & Vehlmann) have now turned him in to a superhero(!)

I've tried to assemble the best versions of these graphics that I could, then did some upscaling and simple editing. Enjoy.
