“BD” refers to Franco-Belgian comics, but let's open things up to include ALL Euro comics and GN's. Euro-style work & artistry from around the world is also welcome, especially BD-style.

* BD = "Bandes dessinées"
* BDT = Bedetheque
* GN = graphic novel
* LBK = Lambiek
* LC = "Ligne claire"

I found this a lovely little series, ostensibly meant for young Czech readers, but rather Grimm at times (as you can see).

I'm guessing the series was published in the ~1970's. Happily for English-speakers, it was recently translated by one "Tomalakis." So then, here's 13 mini-chapters you can read:

Artist Jiří Kalousek worked effectively in a variety of styles, and passed away in 1986. More samples of the artist here:
