“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.

EDITORS NOTE: Kinda just trying to see if our 'Henk' content is still standing. So far it looks like it...

Henk freaked me out. I dunno what it was about him.

He's definitely a freak, and incredibly crude, at times.

"Henk," "Esther" and a couple others are basically merging the complete, no-holds-barred wildness of crazy indie-alt comics with professional comics formatting. I don't always love it, but it's arguably art at a certain level.

I love the absurdist humor. Kamagurka as an artist (without herr seele, the two of them made cowboy Henk) makes excellent comics, that are slightly less anal/childish.

For ones that love absurdism and banality, look up gumbah, not much of his work is translated, though it's not always necessary.

Ah, and yet another Flemish one!

Thanks for the tip, and for anyone reading:
