“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.

Oh man, thanks for such a detailed answer! Sounds like a plan. ^^ Also, my best wishes to you, particularly as someone also struggling in my personal life. But it's nice to know I'm not alone, here.

I read the first three Dune books long ago, and saw the 1984 movie & the 2000 series. Really loved the iconic Dune II & Dune 2000 video games, too. There's even a cute '8-bit,' scaled-down version here, playable online--> https://liquidream.itch.io/undune2

As for Jodo, I've meant to do a proper re-read of the three Incal series plus the various side-series, which include Technopriests, Metabarons, Castaki, and... do you know if anything else belongs with those?

But I certainly wouldn't mind shining the spotlight on Jodo's vast amount of other works. White Lama, for one, which helped me understand Buddhism to an extent.
