“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"

The designated language here is English, with a traditional bias towards French, followed by other Euro languages.

So, not to 'beat myself hoarse,'* but ah man... there's just nothing like René Goscinny, i.e. the classic writer upon this series. <3
* hahaha (a little Belle & Hockridge tribute right there)
And yet, and yet... let's give the new crew a chance, i.e. the new writers & artists assigned to carry on the series.
It certainly can't be easy.
Is Fabcaro a better writer than Uderzo and Ferri? I stopped reading the Bandes desinees at some point because I couldnt bare reading the dialogue anymore..
Understood, yeah.
I'm getting this one!
I remember seeing these in my teens and thinking the artwork was stunning. The characters looked so interesting. The English dialogue didn’t seem that interesting to me. I must revisit again in case it was just my age / comprehension.
Fyi they have changed authors over the years. But I have no idea how big that impact can be felt in the translations (I only ever read the german translations)
Thanks. In that case I’ll check out a few different periods. My Dutch acquaintance rated them very highly too.
Gotta be hard for the new English translators too
