“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"

Hah, another funny character.
You know I managed to find the back to this card and did some image upscaling to it:
I wasn't actually sure, but this seems to suggest that most or all of these characters previously appeared in his books.
Interesting, it feels like they are all from his books or short stories, but who knows. I should put together all the cards (and yes I have been too lazy to scan the backsides 😊) and try to figure them out.
I sometimes hunt down some old publication in metal hurlant or echo de la savane but it's quite the hit or miss, it's often a page from something already well known, but sometimes there is a little piece of rare stuff.
The search goes on!
Do you have the whole set? There is an index card which lists all the art cards. Also, if the backs of the cards are like this one, then each card should specify which Moeby book the character is from.
Is this... in relation to the cards, or just Moeby stuff in general?
Uh oh, now my work just doubled!
I laid my hands on a pristine complete collection, mint condition like new. 90 cards including 2 index cards.
For the research stuff, it's anything about Moebius, and sometimes other interesting euro-"BD" stuff :-) and I really like the print methods from back then so I cherish EO versions (Original Version) and the "magazine" prints from back then also feel so right, with all the other stuff happening surrounding 2-3 pages of first ever printed something Moebius for example...
Ah, so he is from that story :D
Lucky to be alive!
