“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"

Aquablue series, originally by Cailleteau and Vatine. I also like the later ones, but I feel the storytelling is simpler, for a younger audience.

Yoko Tsuno, by Leloup. Couldn't get enough of the series as a kid.

Of course Valerian, and there also the earlier works.

I read a lot of Yoko Tsuno as a kid too :) In retrospect, the series was pretty ahead of it´s time by having not only a strong female but also asian protagonist, don´t you think?

[–] Cobrachicken@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Yes, totally agree. A female, asian, technician, pilot, motorcycle rider main protagonist. How cool is that, or was for the times it was published.

Plus the clear drawing style, especially of techy things.

I think I'll have to look through the copies I own, and buy the ones missing from the series.
