“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.

A panel from La Quête de l'oiseau du temps (ENG: Roxanna and the Quest for the Time-bird) (i.imgur.com)

The panel is from tome 3 "Le Rige." I liked artist Régis Loisel's ligne claire here, particularly the hatching, shadows and line-work on the mounted beasts. Also, the composition is nicely framed, balancing foreground & background elements with some lush colors, and inverts the typical lighting / shading scheme.

"Roxanna" is ostensibly a 'swords & sorcery'-type series, but there's an unusual, interesting background with our two heroes, i.e. Roxanne and her father, Bragon. I hope to do a proper review one of these days..

Ah, is that right? Hey-- if you get a chance, could you post here some of your favorite Régis Loisel stuff?

Sadly, I haven't seen much of his stuff, mainly because when I was younger, I couldn't read French at all. :/
