“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"

There is an unfinished series called “After the Incal” which has only the first volume by Moebius and Jodo. However, surprisingly it did not manage to pull me in at all, so I won´t recommend spending money on it but of course it won´t hurt to read it for completion.

Interesting. WP is telling me that After the Incal got rewritten as Final Incal. Works for me. Oh yes, and I remember Megalex, now. I have it placed in the same folder as the Incal-universe works, so I guess I'll leave it like that for now.

Now, what is Castaka?! OH SHIT! IT SEEMS TO BE PART OF THE PRIME JODOVERSE! How could I miss that until now?! Thank you so much for pointing me to it my dude!

Haha, sure! IIRC, it does overlap with some of the existing Metabaron's line, but features some new material, I think about their origins.

I would also like to check out the Borgia series he did with … Milo Manara :P

I read that series, and for me it got kind of gruesome & depressing after a while, which was maybe the point. Rich, powerful people being degenerate and cruel, I guess you could say, which unfortunately isn't unique to just that era. :S
