His art is amazing. SO much movement and details and the stories it self are hilarious :DD
I love BD. Always looking for new suggestions if you got
Even for Americans, there are Belgian comics that are interesting, names : Buck Danny and Dan Cooper (first one is a US Navy aviator, second one is a Canadian pilot)
Usually I read the American and manga comics but now I'm willing to give the franco belgian comics a try
I recommend you as a Belgian comic book author Roger Leloup with Yoko Tsuno. And André Franquin with Idées noires (black ideas?) and Gaston Lagaffe (Gomer Goof). Enki Bilal and Mœbius (Jean Giraud) are also two very important authors/cartoonists.
I love Franquin, and there's a video elsewhere on my channel reviewing "Die Laughing" (a/k/a "Les Ideees Noires"). I enjoy Giraud, though I haven't read that much of his stuff -- most of it isn't available in English, sadly. I read one Yoko Tsuno and it just wasn't my thing. Might need to give it another shot someday.
Yoko Tsuno is fantastic, she was my first "crush" when I was teenager, one of the books "The Astronomer of Bruges" is set in my home town, and I can assure you, all the geography is correct. (well exept of course the scifi stuff, lol) .... and than of course there is Tintin.... but I also like the French BD's (BD stand for bande désinée btw) like Alex (in French and English it's "Alix", which plays in ancient Rome with a Galo-Roman hero, and Lefranq, playing mainly in France post WWII with Lefranq being a journalist.
U still creating content because i want to get to know about European comics!?
Yes, I'm still posting to the website at PipelineComics.com, but things are a little slow now because of the day job. It'll pick up again eventually. Can't wait to get back to it!
