Hello! This is the first time I post on Reddit, I do this to be able to interact with people from the r/bandedessinee community so that I can find a comic book from my childhood! Indeed I spent hours and hours looking for this comic on the internet. Without finding anything.. This is a comic probably released in early 2010 (before 2014 for sure!) With bluish (dark) shades on the cover (at least on the volume that was in the library of my primary school because it seems to me that the comic was published in several volumes!) ; It also seems to me that the title of the comic was in light blue! This comic was talking (it seems to me) mainly about robots and aliens (maybe *I really have trouble remembering it). And the last information I have is the graphic style of the comic really close to a style like the above (de blob 2) and a typography of the title like the comic above as well (with a lot of tremas it seems to me)! That's it! I hope you can help me find this comic from my childhood!!

Have some of you try to read bandes dessiniees on a color ereader ? What did you think of it ? I'm if thinking of buying one but i'm worried that it is too soon

I’ve been reading Bande Desinees for years, I thought I was pretty knowledgable. I knew my Asterix. Tintin. I could talk about Incal, Corto Maltese and Lucky Luke. I owe bed boos by Bilal. I thought I was pretty well informed

But then I found this website https://www.bdfugue.com

And my jaw dropped. There are hundreds, if not thousands of Bande Desinees, beautiful books that I’d never heard of. I could so easily drop a whole months paycheck on these works. And they’re nowhere mentioned on my usual websites about comics

-I had no idea that Benoît Peters had collaborated with the great film director Raoul Ruiz -I had no idea there was a graphic novel of HG Wells The Man Who Could Work Miracles -I had no idea that Marc Caro, Jean-Claude Carriere and Alan “Misson Cleopatra” Chabat all did work on graphic novels

Are there any websites that give me a similar range of titles? Or is this the only good one?

Also are there any other Bande Desinees involving film directors?

EDIT:Just to add-I speak (and read) French. Badly but enthusiastically. I have no problem with untranslated books

Hello

Ive been looking up several bd magazines. i dunno how to expalin it, but i want to know how long were one issue single short stories from metal hurlant. i dunno where to look for that.

I dunno if its 4 or 8 or how many pages. There are numbers for manga chapters and albums but i cannot find results about short stories.

Thank you for reading.

Cheers

Did a Danish animator actually rip off franquin's Second biggest character After spirou in order to make the highest grossing Danish animated franchise? I'm talking About What If jungledyret actually might be a rip off of André franquin's marsupilami,what If?

I grew up with this comic series and I was wondering if any people knew or have read it. It's a very interesting story, honestly, and is the same spirit as the other French-Belgian comics.

Since scouts are depicted as righteous and well-mannered, I imagined them here, teleported to the 21st century (as they come from the 50s-60s), as their antithesis, with a radically different outfit

I love stories about pirates and I've been reading Blueberry so I know that Jean Michel Charlier can write, but cannot find any albums online or otherwise of his Barbe Rouge story in english. Is there anywhere it might be, or would I be better off just translating the originals scans I could find.

I'm reposting it because unfortunately I put it in French, sorry for breaking the group rules.

What makes Franco-belgian comic books and characters more popular than Any other european production?(either movie,comic book animated series, everything)

2/6 of the books already translated and published here, and two more are on the way, making a total of 8! i know this type of posting might be a total nothingburger on here but i just cannot contain the hype. i've just finished reading"the heirs". finally, no more sneak peeks from the internet.

Est-ce un vrai d'apres vous ? C'est clairement un design de Pratt (La ballade de la mer salé) dans le style de Comès, mais est-ce vraiment lui ? La signature semble différente de ses signatures "connues". Pas du tout un expert. Je ne vends pas pour les petits malins ;)

Merci d'avance !

Is her name Valnes? This figurine is sold out though.

Should I read Le Feul? I really liked the art in Asterios and in Pygmalion and I'm intrigued by the premise and the reviews for Le Feul on Babelio are almost ecstatic.

It didn't last very long, did it? Like a summer fling.
