“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"

Please DO: 1) follow good 'netiquette' and 2) the four simple rules of lemm.ee (this instance) when posting and commenting. As for extracts, they're fine, but don't link to pirated downloads.

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

When posting foreign-language content, please DO include helpful context for English-speakers.

I'll try to get to the main point, but wasn't that some... Shakespearean Henry Vth stuff right there?

Anywhere, here's a proper, full page:

Okay, I'm just trying for a quick-post for now, but I feel like Moreil & Pedrosa's "The Golden Age" is just... an astonishing BD accomplishment.

Least of all, there's Cyril Pedrosa's *wild* color schemes, which routinely take the center-show. Seriously, I'd almost call such a new genre within BD...

But also the script-writer, Roxanne Modeil!
What an enormous, new talent. oO

Yeap yeap, there is MUCH more to say about this series and the creators, but... just wanted t give y'all a taste for now. (kinda busy, I am)

You were not kidding, this is seriously great. Completely new territory for me, but the excerpts won me over.

What is "BD"?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

BD stands for "Bandes dessinées" or "Drawn strips". Apparently it's a separate culture to American Comics, popular in France and Belgium. The Adventures of Tintin, Asterix, and The Smurfs are all BDs you may have heard of.

What’s the best way to buy this in the US? $66 on Amazon feels steep. Are kindle versions good?
