“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.

From the Thorgal universe, one of my very favorites in all of comics, featuring lovely, painted art, memorable characters, tense plotting, impressive world-building, and even an interesting historical look in to Viking customs and society.

Thorgal of course is the central character in the series, child of the stars adopted by Vikings. Wolfcub is his young daughter, who has the unique ability to communicate with, befriend, and even command animals to do her bidding.

For swords, sorcery & science fans, this is some must-read stuff, in which the characters are excruciatingly put through the wringer time and time again by the brilliant sadist of a writer, Jean Van Hamme (Largo Winch, XIII, Wayne Shelton, Lady S).

There's a pretty good fandom overview of the series HERE, and you can expect more Thorgal material to be shared here in future!
