* BD = "Bandes dessinées"
* BDT = Bedetheque

* LBK = Lambiek
* LC = "Ligne claire"

Sometimes I forget that Disney comics are not just an American thing, but have been thriving in Italy since 1932, specifically via Topolino magazine and associated publications. Interestingly, the output has not been solely Italian nor American, but evidently a mix of original content from both nation's creators.

Here's the published cover above, with thanks to t/dirtyriver for the find:

In recent years France's Glénat publishing house has joined the fun, but has been tending to go in more gonzo directions, not unlike various creators doing guest shots on Lucky Luke.
