Hello,
I am looking for the name of a comic book series, but I can only recall one detail about it. It is likely a series from the late 80s or the 90s. The hero (or heroes) gets "abducted" by winged beings (good or evil? I'm not sure). Sorry for such a meager clue; time has taken its toll on my memory.
Thanks for your help!
Please help me! I'm searching the name of a comic that I used to read when I was little, so like 2015 (I’m 2008). It was a kids newspaper with rather sleazy drawings of that boy who made trips to real places but pariodized them and the names of the (real) countries were disfigured. He had curly black hair up to the neck, thin, little goatee, (practically usopp). The comic strip was caricatural and stereotypical about the inhabitants of the place, and I remember I particularly remember that on the edges of the vignette there were silly and amusing details about the "invented destination". I particularly remember the ones of the pariodized Lapon and a place where there was something like Gnu's, and he got the mark (the one you do with hot stamp) on him on his ass cheek. He ate weird foods, obviously stereotypical, like in Greenland with walrus eyes or something like that. I remember he was talking about the kind "we suggest to visit this and do this..." but in the panels, not him with the little cloud like in regular comics. There were mini stupid maps at the bottom of the page, and the comic didn't take up the entire page because there were funny details outside the panel complex. I'd be grateful if you can help me someway🫶🏻
I read it quite a while ago, so this will be a bit jumbled, but I'll try to provide as many details as possible. For starters, the characters are pirates—or at least on ships—and they're animals. The art style is dark and a bit gory, but it's full of humor; I read two volumes (small, softcover format), though there might be more. I recall bits of the story: a beginning where the main characters are fleeing a hanging; an encounter with a marabou stork/vulture who tells them his life story; the ending, where one character winds up leading a death cult that has a sort of Indian vibe; and a chase scene through a big city... I believe it's French, and I don't know if it was ever translated.
Sorry for the chaotic description, but this has been bugging me for a few days—if you have any leads, I'd really appreciate it! (sorry for the Google translate English...)
Bonjour à tous !
Je cherche depuis très longtemps une BD française que j’ai lue dans mon enfance, mais impossible de remettre la main dessus. Je ne me souviens malheureusement ni du titre, ni de l’auteur, ni de l’année de publication. Certains détails sont peut-être inexacts, mais voici tout ce dont je me souviens.
L’histoire suit un jeune homme, apparemment étudiant. Un jour, pendant un cours, il a une altercation avec sa professeure. Ils se disputent et, si mes souvenirs sont bons, il finit par la pousser. Elle tombe, se cogne violemment la tête et reste inconsciente. Le jeune homme la croit m*rte et, paniqué, s’enfuit.
Plus tard, il retourne vers chez lui, mais voit plusieurs voitures de police devant sa maison. Il fait donc demi-tour et repart en fuite.
Il erre ensuite dans les rues, sans argent. À un moment, il entre dans un café et commande quelque chose, je crois un café et un croissant.
Comme il n’a pas de quoi payer, il essaie de s’enfuir par la fenêtre des toilettes, mais l’ouverture est trop petite et il n’arrive pas à passer
Il retourne finalement dans le café. Une femme comprend qu’il n’a pas d’argent et décide de payer pour lui. En échange, elle lui demande de l’aider, peut-être pour son déménagement ou pour faire quelques courses — je ne suis plus certain du détail.
Il finit par aller chez elle, ils discutent beaucoup et il passe même la nuit chez elle. Mais il décide finalement de partir en pleine nuit sans la prévenir.
Il marche alors dans la nuit et monte dans un wagon vide d’un train de marchandises, où il s’endort.
Le lendemain matin, il se réveille et arrive à Sainte-Adresse, près du Havre, où il marche sur la plage.
Il me semble qu’on apprend plus tard que la professeure n’était en réalité pas m*rte : elle avait seulement perdu connaissance à cause de sa chute. Mais le jeune homme, lui, ne le savait pas et pensait être recherché pour crime.
Je suis assez certain de certains éléments (la prof, la fuite, le café, la fenêtre des toilettes trop petite, le train de marchandises et surtout Sainte-Adresse), mais d’autres détails peuvent être mélangés avec mes souvenirs.
Est-ce que cette histoire dit quelque chose à quelqu’un ? Je serais vraiment reconnaissant si quelqu’un pouvait retrouver le titre ! Je cherche cette BD depuis des années.
Found 10 books out of all the 21 English translations from an old bookshop. I have the Eurobooks India published ones as well which contains few more stories apart from these
I'm looking for artists that perhaps draw for several scenarists and have a lot of attention for details. It can be B/W or color, I don't mind.
Example: Andreas
A long article about Goscinny on the occasin of his 100th birthday in German newspaper SZ. Article in German, so you have to have it translated. Gift link in comments.
I read it about 20 years ago, I think in a compilation sampler.
It had it post-apocyliptic setting were a guy was fighting three robots. At some point in the fight he realises the robots are cyborgs and havw human brains and nervous systems. All three robots have different designs.
Its been itching my OCD for 20 years amd Ive nevwr been able to identify what it was. I think it was US/European style art.
I always wondered myself who was this boy with a blonde horse tail ? I dont remember him being named and he disappeard quickly after few volumes. Does abyone know his name or why he vanished ?
A few years ago, I had the opportunity to draw Formic Wars, a science-fiction story for Marvel.
The entire series is set in space, in a highly technological sci-fi universe. Formic Wars is structured as a seven-episode story, and this first episode serves as an introduction to the characters, the setting, and the events that will gradually unfold.
The story begins with a sudden and unexpected attack by an alien species resembling gigantic ants. What initially appears to be a mysterious assault is only the beginning of something much bigger…
I’m sharing some pages from Formic Wars-Episode 1 here because I thought it would be interesting to bring this old project back and show it to a new audience.
I’ve been working professionally as a comic book artist for more than 40 years, with work published by Marvel, DC, Image, IDW, Soleil, Dupuis, Delcourt and Sergio Bonelli Editore.
I’m also always open to new collaborations with writers, creators, publishers, and independent projects.

Thanks for looking, and I hope you enjoy Formic Worlds!

Today, I received the first four volumes of the Belgian comic book series Léonard. I can't wait to read them!
This is just the beginning of my collection!
I’ll be buying four volumes each month; by next year, I’ll have all 56 volumes (though I’m not sure if I’ll buy the 9 special editions)!
What do you think?
Been reading Corto Maltese recently, and I’m really loving his relationship with Rasputin. There’s just something about their dynamic that I can’t get enough of, I love how there’s this weird mix of hostility, familiarity, and mutual understanding between them. They’re constantly at each other’s throats, but you can tell there’s also a deep attachment underneath it all. Their interactions are honestly one of my favorite parts of the series.
Bonjour, je cherche le titre d’une BD que j’ai lue chez mes grands-parents quand j’étais enfant. Je pense qu’elle datait du début des années 80, mais je n’en suis pas totalement certain.
C’était une BD de science-fiction dystopique avec un style graphique plutôt réaliste. Dans cet univers, les couleurs étaient interdites : les gens vivaient dans un monde gris et l’usage de couleurs semblait être considéré comme une infraction ou une forme de rébellion.
Je crois me souvenir d’un détail précis : il y avait une fille qui avait teint ses cheveux en bleu, ce qui était probablement un acte de transgression.
Je pense que c’était une BD française ou belge, mais je n’en ai pas la certitude. Si quelqu’un reconnaît cette histoire, je serais très reconnaissant de retrouver le titre !
