“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.

(I LOVE this blog)

  1. I've absolutely no idea what a 'scanlation' means, so I guess that's a wash! (top link)

  2. Yeah, baby! (all those snipped Tintin panels) [link]

  3. "Nobody likes Gaston?!?" (whaaaat?)

  4. GAS-lighting! With dear ol' Captain Kirk! https://sundaycomicsdebt.blogspot.com/2017/01/requested-adaptations-asterix-gaslighter.html

In clumsily colluding, I guess... eh, well, what was the question again??

Haha, that was a bit of a wacky post above.

I liked it!

Yesterday I finished off a huge job on Calvin’s apartment

I am happy you made it on time, well done!

treated myself to some of his fine booze Oh, my head…

lol

Anyway, yeah, I think you have the spirit of scanlation. Other definitions you’ll find online. It’s a bit of a touchy subject, as we don’t want to take away proper royalties to the creators, you know? Part of why we say ‘extracts are fine, but no pirated links!’ in the sidebar.

Im am undecided in the matter, I want artists to get every penny they deserve for their work. On the other hand, I think most people who pirate graphic novels do it because otherwise they simply could not afford reading them. At the same time people who can afford buying graphic novels will often pirate and then buy the stuff they like, so pirating can even increase sales.

Anyway, I’m not sure if I’m fully “back” yet, but we’ll see.

No pressure mate, take your time.

I really appreciate your focus on Jodo’s Dune series lately

Thank you, happy that you like it!

and in any case, there’s a HUGE archive of posts here for anyone wanting more EGN+ content! :D

Exactly! Just think of our first few months streak for example. I think I have to go back sometime and look at all those cool posts! :D
