“BD” refers to Franco-Belgian comics, but let's open things up to include ALL Euro comics and GN's. Euro-style artistry from around the world is also welcome. ^^
* BD = "Bandes dessinées"
* BDT = Bedetheque
* GN = graphic novel
* LBK = Lambiek
* LC = "Ligne claire"

@Nacktmull@lemmy.world / @Nacktmull@feddit.de, I'm not sure what your main "FV" instance is, so I decided to comment here instead of messaging each of your name-sharing ID's.
Anyway, I just wanted to say that I greatly appreciate your contributions, here. Having had to construct and populate the entire community with quality content has been a rather daunting task, and I'm truly grateful to you for stepping up, out of the blue (as we say in the States).
Also, just wanted to let you know that I've pinned this post, such that it's the top thread visible in our little community. Furthermore, I used some of your art suggestions to create the new logo (Gaston) and banner (with one of the 26 being the Moebius art you shared). Thank you so much for helping me with that!
Lastly, your Starwatcher art was one of the most popular posts here, so... could we have more, please?
PLEASE-PLEASE-PLEASE-PLEASE-PLEASE-PLEASE-PLEASE-PLEASE-PLEASE-PLEASE-PLEASE-PLEASE?
...he said, offhandedly and startlingly casually. :P
Seriously, though-- I feel like there are probably a lot of great German (& Dutch?) comics that other audiences don't know very well... yet. Could you possibly help by giving your opinions on some?
Oh man, thanks for such a detailed answer! Sounds like a plan. ^^ Also, my best wishes to you, particularly as someone also struggling in my personal life. But it's nice to know I'm not alone, here.
I read the first three Dune books long ago, and saw the 1984 movie & the 2000 series. Really loved the iconic Dune II & Dune 2000 video games, too. There's even a cute '8-bit,' scaled-down version here, playable online--> https://liquidream.itch.io/undune2
As for Jodo, I've meant to do a proper re-read of the three Incal series plus the various side-series, which include Technopriests, Metabarons, Castaki, and... do you know if anything else belongs with those?
But I certainly wouldn't mind shining the spotlight on Jodo's vast amount of other works. White Lama, for one, which helped me understand Buddhism to an extent.
Interesting. WP is telling me that After the Incal got rewritten as Final Incal. Works for me. Oh yes, and I remember Megalex, now. I have it placed in the same folder as the Incal-universe works, so I guess I'll leave it like that for now.
Haha, sure! IIRC, it does overlap with some of the existing Metabaron's line, but features some new material, I think about their origins.
I read that series, and for me it got kind of gruesome & depressing after a while, which was maybe the point. Rich, powerful people being degenerate and cruel, I guess you could say, which unfortunately isn't unique to just that era. :S
