“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"

MODERATION: If you happen to make a mistake upon the above, then please don't worry about it. We'll likely just laugh it off and let you know. OTOH, obvious bad-faith and hostile efforts will not be tolerated here.

Thanks! It looks and sounds amazing!

For an English version, would you recommend reading it through "1984" magazine? Or if it's not too wordy, I can read Spanish & French slowly.

It has parts that are more and parts that are less wordy. If my Spanish would be good enough I would for sure read the original version. I also like having all fragments together in one nice book. I don´t know much about 1984 magazine, just that it is comparable to Métal Hurlant. Are those old issues that had the first release of the single fragments still available?

Magazines like that are sometimes preserved digitally at archive.org. It's not ideal of course, but I thought it might be a way for me to get a little taste of this work before I look further. Either way, I'll track this one down in good time.
