“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.

This one seems to echo November's local weather. The character is Freddy Lombard, sort of a perpetually-scowling, vagabond version of Tintin. I believe the panel is from La comète de Carthage (1986), arguably the best of the five "Freddy" albums.

Yves Chaland was highly prolific, and there's much to say about his work, and many more samples to share. Unfortunately, like the late Hubert Boulard, he was one of BD's geniuses who suffered a tragic, early death, dying in a car accident at only 33yo.

For now, here's his Lambiek entry.
