“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"

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.

"Every worthwhile artist has their Moebius phase," according to a theory.

I found the first pic in a blog, and the rest of the story in Heavy Metal magazine #267, from January 2014. Here she be:

I'd never heard of this Italian artist before, but am loving his art (and yes, he has his own style as well). There's a bit more info on him over at Lambiek.

Great style and story, although I'm a little confused by the ending. What did she tell him and why does it show her leaving as the last panel?

He deserves to be left there, but I don't think it was a very strong panel to end on, although it was very cool visually.

I was cracking up with the three panel spread of him shooting like an idiot after being frightened by the flower, hahaha.

Thanks for sharing

Seems to me that she used her influence with the alien / plant to get him released, but as a penalty, he was converted to a strange ibis-type bird. Or something like that.

I was wondering about those blonde tufts.

That makes sense, thanks. He'll do better as an ibis.

He’ll do better as an ibis.

Lol, truth.
Btw, note his pink headband in addition to the blond tufts.

Oh I noted it's similarity to the vine ribbons holding him in captivity but hadn't realized that was his bandana! Thanks

It's still working fine on my WinX & Chrome setup.

You can also try it without the leading protocol code, i.e.:

Or maybe different browser, incognito mode, desktop vs. phone approach?

Yeah, seems to have been an issue with the eternity in app browser.

Fun comic, thx for sharing. Didn't fully get the final panel, but it's not always necessary to fully get these style of comics.

Haha, yeah, it definitely took a leap on the last panel.

Seems to me that she used her influence with the alien / plant to get him released, but as a penalty, he was converted to a strange ibis-type bird. Or something like that. Anyway, glad you liked!
