“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.

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.

For posting tips, including how to handle NSFW and personal content, see the FAQ below.

The designated language here is English, with a traditional bias towards French. When posting foreign-language content, please DO include helpful context for English-speakers.

NOTE: This is currently a raw edition, which I'll be refining. Kindly duck your head upon unfinished or low ceilings...


  • FLEEN: a good, general index of quality webcomics from around the world

  • Aethernaut: a long-running, nifty adventure set in a steampunk / post-Ren world (previous review)
  • Alexander the Great, the Servant & the Water of Life: about the historical Macedonian leader
  • BACK: A quirky, creative, hugely entertaining comic in which we follow the classic HERO'S JOURNEY as she takes on a series of local tyrants literally draining the planet of its life-essence. Despite the slapstick, absurdist style, I found it surprisingly apt.
  • BFF: about a Parisian artist and the lives of his group of twenty-something friends
  • Bouletcorp: long-running humorous life reflections of an 'average Joe' (FRENCH ONLY)
  • Deathbulge: Hilariously weird, inspired Brit series about a small group of oddballs doing their thing
  • FORMING: A rather rowdy, crude, yet brilliant mashup of Biblical and other mythologies. 381 crazy panels brings the story to life... and to an end.
  • Griz Grobus: a post-apoc, off-world series of tales that (like LEO's work) explores the relationship between humans and the native fauna & ecosystems
  • INK DOLLS: Four late-teen / 20-something cousins reunite at their abuela's house to share some light-hearted adventures. They also happen to explore their sexuality with the locals in a gentle-hearted, playful way, making this a surprisingly cute, unique webcomic. (previous review)
  • Jonny Crossbones: a long-running, Tintin-style, pirate-themed, treasure hunt adventure (previous review)
  • Journey to Kaiserschmarrn, The: What if that dang ol' asteroid never hit the Earth, 65Myrs ago? Here's an excellent, homegrown, Czech, dino-themed comic set in the late middle ages...
  • NIMONA: Here's an archived version of this excellent tale, which combines swords, sorcery, high technology, with killer plot and character development. (previous review)
  • Poorly Drawn Dinosaurs (archive): an hilarious, Swedish, oddball look at frequently-aggravated, sentient dinosaurs (previous review)
  • Steffen Wittig: Topical German cartoonist / humorist (LinkTree for alt sites)
  • SUBNORMALITY: near-legendary, absurdly-oversized, existential-themed Canadian comic with some Euro vibes
  • The Nietzsche Family Circus: A randomly-generated mashup of America's lame & tame "Family Circus" with the German philosopher's key thoughts and insights. Sometimes nonsensical, and sometimes hysterical, or even surprisingly-insightful.
  • Twisted Speedo: a little Swedish masterpiece of cheerfully-nihilistic vertical thought pieces on what it's like to be sentient (previous review)
  • VATTU: off-world, long-form work, set in a sort of middle-ages era, it reimagines what society, species, politics and even physical laws are like.

Bit of a sticky wicket, trying to find good BD webcomics that happen to be in English. Any help is appreciated...
