I don’t usually post my cosplays on here but i’m so proud of my Feyd-Rautha i just had to share!!! I absolutely fell in love with Mœbius’ design for the Na-Baron Harkonnen after discovering Jodorowsky’s Dune. I’m so happy with how my cosplay turned out and maybe i’ll post some more pictures from the photoshoot soon!

Curious about this since the original poll by @wasted-my-time was only 24 hours and I want to include only comics I've personally been recommended by my USAmerican friends.
Honorable mention since it didn't fit on the poll list: Jérôme K. Jérôme Bloche, which I chose to exclude since there are literally only 5 albums in English and I had to cut one of them
Small edit for a common question!
What’s BD? - BD = Bande Dessinée = comics (in the French language). Generally (in English anyway) comics are referred to by their language of origin (ie “manga” for Japanese comics). This is because of shared tropes, references, cultural material, art styles, etc. This does NOT mean that they’re all from France! Just that they’re all written in French!
Asterix and Blueberry are from France; Lucky Luke, Tintin, Spirou & Fantasio, Gaston, the Smurfs, and JKJ Bloche are all Belgian; Yakari is Swiss; and Blacksad is made by Spanish creators but written in French for a French audience and published in France

Hey, watch Scavenger’s Reign. Beautiful, original animated sci-fi with fantastic speculative biology and and a very Mœbius art style. Definitely has gory and/or scary elements (the show follows several characters stranded on an alien planet; stuff gets weird, lotta body horror) so check content warnings if you are concerned.
This is promo art, and it’s pretty indicative of the show’s actual style. I just picked them over still frames since they’re vertical.

Concept art of Castle Grayskull’s throne room by Jean “Mœbius” Giraud, for the 1987 live-action movie. The man loved crystals; just look at the Mœbius strips referenced in the SPOP “Bible”. It also bears a strong resemblance to our Fractal Flake, albeit (presumably) not made of ice.

As a Japanese person who is used to reading manga, I find comics outside Japan to be so different beyond size, color, reading direction, and language that I wish there was a book explaining comics of various kinds and how to approach them. For example, I have read The Witch Boy by Molly Ostertag, Magical Boy by The Kao, Hound by Paul J. Bolger and Barry Devlin, An Táin by Colmán Ó Raghallaigh, and the excerpts of Franco-Belgian comics in the guide Invitation au monde de la Bande Dessinée (はじめての人のためのバンド・デシネ徹底ガイド, 2013).
Neither The Witch Boy nor Hound were divided by chapter to my surprise—especially Hound since it was first released in three volumes. Dialogue in Franco-Belgian comics are lengthy compared to what I see in manga, which the academic book Les échanges culturels entre Manga et Bande dessinée : Historie, Adaptation et Création (日仏マンガの交流 ヒストリー・アダプテーション・クリエーション, 2015) has commented on.
Hound was created by at least two Irish people and edited by one British person (Hugh Welchman) but I find this graphic novel to be similar to a certain kind of Franco-Belgian comics like the works of Jean "Mœbius" Giraud. These comics have impressive art and imagery—and I love how Hound portrays Cú Cullan's berserk state and uses dashes of red in an otherwise black and white setting—but they give me little or no idea about what's going on unlike, say, Fullmetal Alchemist by Hiromu Arakawa. I have heard of the international popularity of manga—in France in particular—but I wonder why people outside Japan embrace manga so much when it's not like comics produced in their countries.
Thoughts?
