So I'm going to a Julien Neel book signing tomorrow, my girlfriend is a big fan and I'm gonna suprise her with a signed bande dessinée ! I think she's read all Lou, I didn't read the Sonata's but I know in those books Lou is exploring her bisexuality. I love my girlfriend so much and we're lesbians so I wanna gift her the one where the lesbianism is the most obvious ! Which one is it ?

Actuellement je suis au festival d'Angoulême et demain je vais à la dédicace de Julien Neel, ma petite amie qui est aussi fan de Lou n'a pas pu venir donc je vais demander une dédicace pour elle pour lui faire une surprise ! Je crois qu'elle a lu tous les Lou, moi je n'ai pas lu les Sonata mais je sais que dans ces tomes Lou explore sa bisexualité et comme on est lesbiennes je voudrais choisir celui des deux où la (les ? jsp) relation lesbienne est la plus obvious, parce que c'est un cadeau pour mon amoureuse tout simplement ! Alors, lequel des deux ?

Hello, I am looking for a title called Lola Bogota for reading online/downloading, any leads, please?

Any hint would be greatly appreciated! Also if it’s from a series or so. :)

Cheers!

Bonjour,

Je me creuse les méninges depuis que j'ai relu Shangri-La de Bablet : je me souvenais qu'il s'agissait d'une dystopie, mais ... pas celle dont je me souvenais !

Il y a quelque part une autre BD, dont le nom ne veut pas me revenir (et Google ne m'aide pas non plus). Du coup si jamais ça évoque quelque chose à quelqu'un ...

Les souvenirs que j'en ai sont les suivants : Il s'agit d'une société enfermée dans un espace confiné, ils sont les derniers survivants de l'humanité, et sont à bord d'un vaisseau spatial ou d'une arche ou un truc du genre La société est divisée en code couleur (non, ce n'est pas le jdr Paranoia)

Ça tourne au vinaigre.

Et, plot twist : En fait ils vivent tous sous terre, dans un bunker, alors que le reste du monde continue sa vie pépouze, c'était en fait l'expérience sociale d'un gourou mégalo.

Merci !

----------------------------------------------

Hello,

I've been racking my brains ever since I re-read Bablet's Shangri-La: I remembered it was a dystopia, but ... not the one I remembered!

There's another BD somewhere, whose name won't come back to me (and Google isn't helping me either). So if anyone remembers anything about it ...

My memories of it are as follows: It's about a society trapped in a confined space, they're the last survivors of humanity, and they're on board a spaceship or an ark or something like that. Society is colour-coded (no, this isn't Paranoia).

It turns sour.

And, plot twist: In fact they're all living underground, in a bunker, while the rest of the world goes about its cushy life, it was actually the social experiment of a megalomaniac guru.

Thanks !

After a nuclear apocalypse, only the wealthiest found refuge in a high-tech bunker, while the rest of the population fights for survival in a wasteland full of cannibals and mutants. Pure chaos, packed with action, gore, and a whole lot of madness.

What do you think? Who, in this devastated world, would survive the longest in your opinion? 🤔 Share your thoughts in the comments!

Hello all 👋

I was wondering if anyone knew of a place to read online or download scans of old Spirou Magazines. I am looking for issues from 1990-1991 (specifically 2712-2756).

I appreciate any help!

I’ve seen a website that lists out all the French issues and their titles, but there seems to be a load missing from the English versions? Have they just combined multiple issues into one book for some of them? If I read the series in English starting from Volume 0 will I miss anything?

✨ La montagne entre nous✨ The new graphic novel by Marcel Shorjian and Jeanne Sterkers, published by Sarbacane, delivers an intimate and deeply moving story. 🏔️📖

🌸 The Story: Marcia and Florence live in a small, isolated village nestled in the heart of the mountains. 🏡 Every evening, they secretly dream of a place where they can live their love freely, away from prying eyes and judgment. ❤️‍🔥 But everything changes when, forty years later, Marcia returns alone to the village she once left behind. Why didn’t Florence follow her? What truths will these reunions uncover?

💭 My Thoughts: After falling in love with Marcel Shorjian’s work in Goodbye My Kingdom, I’m thrilled to discover his talent as a writer in this story. ✍️ His powerful and emotional storytelling brings to life deeply complex and relatable characters. Having grown up in a similar village, I found the atmosphere incredibly authentic. 🌲

The artwork by Jeanne Sterkers was a wonderful surprise. 🎨 Her delicate and refined style adds a subtle emotional layer to the story, perfectly complementing the narrative.

❤️‍🔥 An Absolute Favorite! This graphic novel is a rare gem, full of sincerity and authenticity. It’s a beautiful representation in contemporary comics—no over-the-top activism (which I wouldn’t have minded), just heartfelt, genuine emotions.

👉 I highly recommend it! Dive into this stunning work that deeply moved me.

📚 Available now at your local bookstore or online.

Anyone have an good recommendations for comics that are coming-of-age/adolescence focused?

I am enthralled with this lesser known creation by the great Franquin. Unfortunately it was short lived but had so much potential!

I welcome anyone who can share any rare art or scripts beyond what my normal google searches find!

How does it compare to Tintin or Asterix?

I have already posted here a while ago without much luck. I decided to post again and delete my older post, because I have recalled some more details about the book.

So, when I was a kid I have found a comic book in the street. The cover and some pages were missing so I have no idea what it was or who the author was. The style of comics was very cartoony and caricature, it was definitely a parody of some sort, very french-belgian style, almost Asterix and Obelixian-like. After doing some research, I suppose it could have been a magazine with short stories, or a magazine compilation or maybe a special. Both stories were translated in Russian.

The first story featured two explorers. One tall and thin, the other short and fat. Their ship had crashed and they were drifting in the ocean on a log, meanwhile breaking the 4th wall making news reports. They were both losers and we're trying to film a documentary. Then they arrived to a weird island were all animals could talk. The first animal they met was an antilope, they had a short conversation and started wondering where is a regular lope, if there is an ANTIlope. They both were obviously stupid and bad at everything they did. Another scene included animals leaving a specific area in the jungle because there was a choker there. They decided to help the animals and find a choker. In that area they met a python, who promised them to help with the investigation. While the two were trying to find clues, the python choked animals right behind their backs. I don't remember the ending very well, maybe the piece of the story was missing, but they ended up destroying the island and drifting on the same log from the beginning of the story breaking the 4th wall again.

The second story was a cartoony parody too and featured a short fat virgin superhero. He was portrayed as a total idiot and loser. His design reminded me a lot of barnacle boy from SpongeBob. In this story he started to grow his first facial hair and he was deadly frightened to go to the barber cause of his fear of razor blades.

It should be written in 1990-2000s.

Hi,

Anyone knows who the guy in the center (red pants, camera, bald) is, in this drawing from Junajo Guarnido is ?

Thanks

Hi!

I come to ask for your help to find the name of a comic that is not super known, which I read about ten/ fifteen years ago.

My memories are unfortunately not super clear, that’s probably why I have so much trouble finding.

Small list of items:

- female main character, certainly a rebellious princess.

- in one scene we see her fleeing from a palace jumping from balcony to balcony, to join a darker city, full of "untouchable" characters, monstrous.

- fantastic world, but which looks inspired by Eastern countries like India.

- I remember that the cover was very purple

Please help me :')

Hey everyone!

I [24F] am working on a student project that aims to simplify and make cybersecurity more accessible through a comic format. The goal is to create engaging and informative content that helps people understand cybersecurity concepts in a fun and easy-to-understand way. The project would be in French.

I'm looking for a student (or someone starting out in the field) who can help bring this project to life! The project comes with a budget of 2000€ (merci le crous) :)

If you're interested or know someone who might be, please DM me or comment below! Would love to work together and create something awesome!

Thanks!

Latest Spirou has an anti-fascist message, handing everyone the carte identite that the main character holds, as he steps the nazi flag.

On this latest number Lucky Luke also participates in a workers strike to help ameliorate their conditions.

Spirou definitely sending out the narrative that matters.

Any help will be appreciated!
