“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"

It's been a looong time now, but I was once a big reader of American superhero comics. For example, I was hooked good on Frank Miller's Daredevil, in which The Punisher made some memorable appearances.

I think those appearances may also have 'turned up the volume' on the idea of two heroes trying to deal with the same issue through completely different means, starting their own conflict in the process, sometimes highly violent ones.

Anyway, it's very interesting to get these occasional renderings of characters by Euro and other artists. Mexican-American Jaime Hernandez had some fun with that, and Italy's Milo Manara did some collections of gals from X-Men, which can be sampled HERE. They're on the 'cheesecake' side, btw!
