“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"

Mœbius: The inspiration for this drawing came from a painting by Maxfield Parrish, which represented a very beautiful girl reclining on a rock. I did this as a joke but behind the joke is an interesting idea. Maybe the girl is really a monster and we now see her true shape. She cries, because she knows she is alone, and she knows she is a monster ....

Morning (1921) by Maxfield Parrish. Cover For Life Magazine, April 6, 1922

Screaming Monster (1974) by Mœbius. Cover for Metal Hurlant, very first issue and Heavy Metal, May, 1977
