“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"

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.

So I was catching up on the Paul stories the other day, which I find to be a truly excellent French-Canadian semi-biographical series of BD novels. From what I've read so far, they span Paul's life & times, from his punky, destructive, 12yo days, all the way to his middle-age. It's really good stuff IMO, with some interesting drama and painful growth sequences, altho sometimes it can be a bit bland, eh. BUT, as I always say-- storytelling is KING, and Michel's got that in spades.

Now, part of what caught my eye in this particular story was:

Because dangit, I'd never previously heard of Robert La Palme in comics, and I love that! Like-- who WAS this guy?

Now, in terms of the "AI" accusations? Well, me, I'm a *huge* fan of color, and I liked spicing up a couple of my favorite panels. I'm not trying to hurt anyone here, and if you're not happy with my efforts upon this sublemmy? Then honestly, this place probably isn't a good fit for you.

Respect for reading and considering, and finally, here's Paul in the Metro:
