“BD” refers to Franco-Belgian comics, but let's open things up to include ALL Euro comics and GN's. Euro-style artistry from around the world is also welcome. ^^

* BD = "Bandes dessinées"
* BDT = Bedetheque
* GN = graphic novel
* LBK = Lambiek
* LC = "Ligne claire"

The designated language here is English, with a traditional bias towards French, followed by other Euro languages.

Requested The Collected Toppi: Vol.1 The Enchanted World from my library's interloan service, and the library that responded gave me Vol 1-3! Three library loans for the price of one, haha.

I dig Toppi's linework. He's a very technical artist, and the work is very detailed and intricate. I'm also a sucker for black and white comics, which is mostly why I requested him after seeing a few people recommend him online for b&W bandee dessinee. The stories from Vol. 1 are all dark fairy tales basically, they're quite short and simple in the storytelling, not a lot of dialogue or plot. But damn, are they atmospheric.

If you have a local library, you should definitely check if they have an inter-library loan service. The majority of comics I have requested, they've been able to find. I also got The Collected Crepax Vol.1 from them as well, which I'll post when I get the chance.

Been in a B&W type of mood, if you guys have any more recommendations, let me know ;)

edit: Also, noticed that lemm.ee scaled the image, so here's a link to the larger original in all it's glory: https://ibb.co/prxDH8Hs

I'll check it out. A surprising amount can be found through the library inter-loan service.
