“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.

Kriek's a super-illustrator who works in a variety of styles and formats, but some of my favorites are these 'woodcut-style' pieces with their limited color palettes. For a nice big intro on Kriek and more sample pics, see: https://www.lambiek.net/artists/k/kriek.htm

As for this particular work, it's his latest, and one can see a load of sample pages here. That's in Castellano, so hit your translate button!

After the tragic loss of their son, Huub and Sara move into an old, isolated family home in the Veluwe woods. They hope to put the grief behind them and get their lives back on track. But is it really a good decision?

In the forest, at the bottom of their garden, there is a mysterious pond, filled with stagnant black water. The waterhole is surrounded by old beech trees with strange markings carved into the bark.

Sara hopes to rediscover her taste for creativity, and paint new canvases in this new environment. She abandons her psycho-medical treatment to achieve this. When she discovers old sketchbooks left by Huub's great-uncle, she gradually sinks into darkness... --BDT
