“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.

"Every worthwhile artist has their Moebius phase," according to a theory.

I found the first pic in a blog, and the rest of the story in Heavy Metal magazine #267, from January 2014. Here she be:

I'd never heard of this Italian artist before, but am loving his art (and yes, he has his own style as well). There's a bit more info on him over at Lambiek.

Great style and story, although I'm a little confused by the ending. What did she tell him and why does it show her leaving as the last panel?

He deserves to be left there, but I don't think it was a very strong panel to end on, although it was very cool visually.

I was cracking up with the three panel spread of him shooting like an idiot after being frightened by the flower, hahaha.

Thanks for sharing

Seems to me that she used her influence with the alien / plant to get him released, but as a penalty, he was converted to a strange ibis-type bird. Or something like that.

I was wondering about those blonde tufts.

That makes sense, thanks. He'll do better as an ibis.

Lol, truth.
Btw, note his pink headband in addition to the blond tufts.

Oh I noted it's similarity to the vine ribbons holding him in captivity but hadn't realized that was his bandana! Thanks
