“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.

These first two are from the book A Land Called Tarot. It's a wordless set of stories inspired by cards, characters and motifs from the venerable tarot deck of cards. The characters are drawn in an anime style (shades of Studio Ghibli), while the backgrounds & settings remind me a lot of Moebius. The stories are fluffily light and whimsical, and for me they're really about looking at the pleasant artwork and imagining what might be happening. Some readers will really enjoy that, and some will miss the lack of a more concrete story.

These next two are from some kind of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" project Bertrand was doing for Nickelodeon. I liked the fact that they're the exact same view, but captured during different time frames, making for a cool 'flip-card' effect.
