“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.

So this is Nävis ("NAY-vee") from my favorite long-form sci-fi series Sillage ("Wake"). It's about a human girl who was the only survivor of an interstellar ship crash, who grew to adulthood with the help of one surviving robot and a sort of orphaned tiger-cub who grew up alongside her.

Eventually, she's discovered by the travelling collective "Sillage," which immediately turns her life upside down, but unexpectedly she proves uniquely valuable to the collective-- her human mind simply can't be read by the best telepaths in the galaxy, making her primo material as an espionage agent, particularly since she grew up in fairly savage circumstances. It's all a bit of a super-creative riff on the classic Tarzan formula, I find.

Side note: I get the feeling that her bird friend here doubles as a little homage to John diFool's Deepo!

NOTE ALSO:
I've been having some pretty weird problems posting here since I publicly critiqued Lemmy.ML the other day. Let's assume it's just a total coincidence for now, but at the moment, it looks like I'm not allowed to share extra images in the body of my posts.

German Wikipedia told me the whole series was published in German.
