“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. Moderation will be based on readers' willingness to follow the above guidelines.

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.

This is a real good murder mystery with some cool plot twists, pretty right-on for classic film noir, both in style and era. Definitely worth a deeper dive when I figure out my Imgur-alternative.

Hervé Bourhis (writer) and Lucas Varela (artist) are the excellent creative team.

EDIT: Welp, this post originally started in frustrating fashion, some of it due to the scheduling tool breaking down repeatedly, and some more of it due to the recent death of my friend and neighbor "Cal," who I'd previously mentioned here in October, when he was in the hospital. Let's just say those were some rough days for me, and I apologise for the creative swearing, i.e. "&*(%!@#."

Ah well, moving on...

I bought them in a vacation in Argentina. Argentina have a lot of good comic authors and there have been a history of European/Argentinean comics collaboration. If you have vacation plans, Argentina is pretty cool and have a lot of original comics hard to find elsewhere.

Hey, thanks for the sampler! For some reason the images didn't auto-open for me, but I was able to look at the source and see them. (and yes, they seemed correctly formatted)

I loved Longest Day of the Future and Human, but hadn't read the last two. Something to look forward to...
