European Graphic Novels+
“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.

Thank you for your reply D'oh! Sorry that I didn't notice there was a community FAQ and a resource page! That's so rare for Lemmy communities, so congratulations are in order. It looks like either library apps or subscriptions are going to be my main options in terms of digital content.
I also found https://globalcomix.com/ may be worth exploring further, although it seems to be mostly indie comics and I'm not sure about whether there is DRM. What's interesting is that they allow filtering titles by country.
I suppose that Kindle would also have been an option until earlier this week when they disabled downloads, although maybe people will figure out other ways to remove the DRM after that change.
Thanks again!
You're welcome, and thanks!
Btw, not sure what's your native language, but sometimes when a work you want to read doesn't appear in your preferred language, you might just find that a fellow fan / hobbyist has "scanlated" it, word to the wise.
Hroom, I suppose I should add that to the FAQ...
No problem, thank you!
Oh, that's cool to know. I hadn't realized that. I only speak a couple of languages well so far, but neither of them are major BD languages, haha. I plan to start learning French again sometime.
Edit: I take back what I said about global comix being mostly indie comics. They seem to have everything from major publishers to single person, free comics. Interesting. To search by country, click the "Explore" link on the site.
Good lord, I can barely speak a little bit of French & Castellano. Could it be you're more of a Slavic-speaker?
No, English and Portuguese. :)
