“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"

Beautiful, I love the light/shadow play! This triggers memories about holidays in Greece during my childhood - impressive!

A quick search first shows that the image source is "𝘚𝘶𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘺 𝘝𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘰 𝘎𝘪𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘰 (1946)".

A second quick search shows that this may be a picture found on the author 2020 book: https://www.rizzolilibri.it/libri/viaggi-sogni-e-segreti/

I tend to believe that the second one is more accurate.

In any case it seems that this not part of of a book or series but a drawing.

EDIT: 1946 is the birth date of the author. Not the date of the drawing.

Claro que si-- he is a great master.

I feel like sometimes the Spanish and Italians don't get the same credit (after the French-speakers), but they deserve lots of credit.

@Cabeza2000@lemmy.world, you're the man, as always.

I love Giardino's works, but I am 95% confident this is an art-piece, like from a story/art-album.

Wow, does this image capture a mood. Never heard of him before, do you know where this picture comes from? Like, is it part of a book or series?

Here’s the Wikipedia link for anybody else who’s interested.

By mistake I replied to OP instead of you. Anyway, I just posted a likely source.
