Comic set in the faux-1950s has an allegory to 1950s issues. Gee what a huge detractor. I'm sorry I fail to see the complaint.

Violine is pretty shit. The story goes all over the place for no reason.
I recommend Billy the Cat. Do not confuse it with the cartoon with the same name. It's not lighthearted, and gets pretty grim at times. It's about a shitty kid who gets run over by a car and gets punished for his sins by becoming a kitten (a creature he's used to bullying in the past). His parents moved when he died so he has no home to go back to and the world of a street cat leads him to discover pretty weird things. Read the first 6 issues for the story. The team disbanded after that and the guy who writes issue 7 onwards is the same guy who wrote for the saturday morning cartoon. I don't know if there's an english version floating about. I can translate but I can't edit for shit.

Titan reprinted the Hampson run in the yeara beforw the 2008 crash, but good luck finding any of those books for under £50. They did the first Bellamy story, too, then quit. Also a fanzine called Spaceship Away is printing new stories in the Hampson style, today almost entirely by one guy, called Tim Booth, causing the overall quality to suffer somewhat (Hampson himself had a manga-esque studio to help him), but it's still worth a look.
All other Dan Dare versions are either insulting, pozzed or just plain shit.

I thought it was fun, it "going all over the place" fits it being an adventure comic. Plus it got wrapped up very nicely at the end bringing everything together. Did you read it till the end?
>Billy the Cat
I remember stumbling upon it years ago but forgetting its name shortly after and never really reading it all properly, so thanks for bringing it to light.
>spoiler
I can edit, plus I know some French so that could help as well. You could provide the translations as text and I could edit them into the comic.

XIII is a Belgian action thriller comic about political conspiracy and espionage. Kind of a Bourne Identity thing.
There's also Accident Man, a British comic about the adventures of an assassin for hire. That got serialized in a comics mag called Toxic!
If you can dig fantasy, check out Mazeworld by Alan Grant and Arthur Ranson. I think it was serialized in 2000 AD.

If you want horror, just read Dylan Dog. It's about a London detective dealing with supernatural and with Groucho Marx for a sidekick. It is a pulpy book with a good deal of comedy in it, so tone-wise, expect something along the lines of Evil Dead.

I am normally not into stories about elves and chosen ones, but this is pretty good two volumes in. It looks like art is getting better with each volume, but does writing stay as good or improve as well in further volumes? I really do not want it to end like Ekho, where there were five good volumes followed by lackluster ones.

Corto Maltese in an excellent historic adventure comic. It does take certain liberties with the events and figures, but does a better job at setting it's events in historical context than any other comic. Probably better than most historical fiction media in general. Books also come in with preface providing historical and geographical background to the events in the comic.
Stories follow Corto Maltese - a sailor and an adventurer in early XX century. Throughout his journeys, he he meets historical figures and witnesses many historical events. It's all very well written. It's almost like a Joseph Conrad book in a comic form.

I remember reading this. In Danish. In a Norwegian library. Lots of really cool, adult comics were in translated to Danish, but not Norwegian for some reason. On the other hand, my father owned hard-cover copies of Simon from the Flood by french author and artist Claude Auclaire, along with another series named Passengers of the Wind (which I called Lesbian Boobs and Suffering, and not without reason). I really want to re-read Simon now, do we have them in the archive?

Recently I finished reading Tebori, which was a pretty good thriller about a tattoo artist who gets mixed up in Yakuza's dealings. Series is decently written and has amazing art. Tebori's creators made another book few years earlier, titled Ken Games. This is also a thriller, but it's about a group of friends mixed up in criminal underworld to some degree and hiding that part of their lives from each other. It's a good books as well, but art is not as good as in Tebori.

Comics just do not get translated to certain languages but not the others for some reason. For example, German speakers are the most populous in Europe, but their comic scenes are probably among the worst ones in the world. Denmark is small, but surprising amount of books get translated to Danish for some reason.

Check out Modesty Blaise, Garth, Agent X9, Johnny Hazard, Blueberry, the swedish publication of the Phantom. Check out the Magazine called Buster, with tons of sports-comics including the best one ever made, Åshöjden BK (although only in swedish as i know of). Had some really stellar comics like Rovers (or Roy of Rovers), Billy's Boot, Johnny Cougar (about a wrestling indian who calls forth indian spirits to defeat his opponents, really good series), and finally the two comedic classics called Hot-shot-Hamish (or Super-Mac) and Mighty Mouse. They also later on had a comic together which is real f'n funny.

I was reading a Dylan Dog with the Google Translate app once and it was pretty good. But I left the book behind when I moved to Japan, so never finished it. Also after a while I was getting to recognise words without needing the app, was I inadvertently teaching myself Italian? Though actually, given the similar origins of most European languages, you can read a surprising amount if you just sound stuff out, or think outside the box. The Italian "omicido" is obviously "homocide", and It doesn't take much to work out the German "gefabrik" is "a place where stuff is fabricated", aka a factory

That's a very good question. As far as I always understood it, initially, Heavy Metal was more or less a translation of the Metal Hurlant. Main difference were occasional editorials and short stories. Over time, Heavy Metal started to include more and more non-French creators.
Heavy Metal started in '77 and is still running, but based on my brief research, Metal Hurlant ran '74-'87 and then its second volume in years 2002 - 2004. That's probably why Heavy Metal started to include its original content over the years. It's pretty surprising that Heavy Metal outlasted the original considering how rigid American comic market is.

Druuna. Storytimed it forever ago but it's still got a special place in my heart. Lots of anons said it was just good erotica from a dude doing too many drugs, but man. I like thinking of the kind of metaphors you can take from it about the world becoming increasingly robotic and humans essentially making themselves go extinct but trying desperately to go back to being organic beings again.
It's like Nier Automata or a dark version of Wall-E in some ways.
On re-reads there's a lot of interesting pieces that you didn't notice at first, too, like the image Druuna sees near the end before she wakes up alone is actually the man she keeps calling Schastar. He's just been trying to recreate Druuna and make the perfect human, and probably just keeps calling himself Schastar because it's what she knows. Because he sure as hell doesn't look like Schastar.

You must have forgotten about the 's.' It's not like Soleil comics have unified art style. 1940, Ekho, Ytahq, and Orcs and Goblins are all published by Soleil, but their styles do not look similar at all.
Besides, Skydoll was originally published in Italy. Soleil only put out the French translation and co-published the English one. Soleil had as much to do with it as they do other foreign books they publish, like manga and 40k comics.

The first black and white (you aren't missing anything, most of it was) cheapo reprint book of Nemesis The Warlock is absolutely bonkers, covers 2-3 "books" of the story, I think.
I never read the rest, but apparently the plot kept going round in circles and later parts of it were awful photo-strips with drawn-on artwork for weirder creatures. If you read that first book in one setting it starts to get a bit samey, even. The visuals are something else, though…

It was better than Deep South, but worse than Barcelona and Rome. It is just a fairly straightforward story about tea shortage conspiracy set in 60s inspired London. Book is not too bad, just really forgettable, and some happenings in the story are just to convenient. It's also odd seeing the implication of Yuri and Formuielle becoming an item at the end of the Deep South completely ignored.
I wish they would have done more with Avengers and Sherlock Holmes angle, instead of making it a generic conspiracy with a predictable twist. Story could also do without Formuielle participating in group sex with bohemian squatters. I would still recommend reading it if you liked most of previous volumes.

I recently read Stern, and both volumes were very good stories set in old west. Main character is an undertaker in a small town, who is kind of an outcast due to his profession. First story is about him stumbling into a murder investigation. Second is him visiting Kansas City, getting mugged, and then trying to recover his possessions.
Characters are probably the Sterns's strongest suit. They are far more nuanced than what you will normally find in a comic. Art is good too, and can be great at some points. Mysteries are also handled very well. Book gives clues, but it does not make them obvious. Too many modern mystery stories either make clue too obvious or just simply avoid giving them and just make the protagonist a genius able to suddenly figure everything out with flimsy or off-screen clues.

Just got done reading the Treasury of British Comics / Rebellion collections of The Leopard from Lime Street and One-Eyed Jack.
The former is basically just a British version of early Spider-man (only, in common with most Brit superheroes, he mostly fights normal criminals), and the latter is a proto-Judge Dredd, only in 70's New York. Most of the stories are unconnected (and just 2-3 pages long), and extremely violent, though it's more suggested than explicit. At the end he winds up shooting somebody he knows and it gets really fucking dark for a nominal kid's comic (it was in Valiant, sharing space with the likes of Adam Eterno)

I've always loved Spanish/South American comic art, the way they can have such a bold ink line, but instead of making it seem static and fixed, they do it with such dash, that it gives a sense of motion. and the way they draw stances and moving figures, the poses and weight distribution really bring all the characters alive. All those old cowboy comics and war comics are so kinetic. What the Americans and Japanese do with panel shapes and diagonal composition, forced perspectives, panel violations, and speed lines they just accomplish with plain old figure poses and inking.

The "Melons" sequel is coming next month.
>Nature has spoiled it. But she does not give him a present.
>Little Paul lives in the country with his father and his sister Magalie. And he is what we could call an early child. Although he is not yet old enough to think about it, here he is endowed with a formidable attribute difficult to dissimulate and which triggers among the chaste women of his entourage the most violent impulses. On the family farm, with friends or in class, our poor little farmer finds himself propelled, despite himself, into situations as lustful as absurd and embarrassing …
>Bastien Vivès again stages the heroes as candid as generously provided by the nature of Melons of Wrath in a series of short stories with unbridled humor. The author of Polina feeds misunderstandings to put on paper his most shameful fantasies and proves, once again, that his sleek and virtuosic design allows it all.
>As immoral as it is cheerful; as raw as hot, Little Paul shows us that it is sometimes good to laugh, even if it is bad.

Instead, the stories are boring and the guy is just a whiteknighting, cucked hanger-on. (Hell, he's barely even in the last couple of volumes.)

First four or five volumes delivered decent amount of cheesecake. Especially the third one. 6th and 7th one were pretty lackluster when it came to it, but art was still good otherwise. Artwork is the only reason to keep up with the series at this point.

The problem is I don't know if they're trying to use animals as literal metaphors for real world races or they're just animals that aren't related to our race issues but have their own issues based on fur colors or species. It didn't seem consistent when I read through the series.
Lastman just looks too much like a storyboard than an actual comic. Something like OPM got popular because it's obvious shit art was charming and then further gained more popularity with the professional art.

After looking at Stern on Comixology, Undertaker was one of the recommended titles. I checked it out of curiosity to see how similar could two books about undertaker in Wild West get.
Only thing they have in common is the protagonist's trade. Other than that, books are very different, to the point of being opposites in certain aspects.
In Undertaker, Jonas Crow is a traveling undertaker with a mean sense of humor. He has a dark past, a pet vulture, and likes to cite made up bible passages. Crow is primarily concerned with cash, but once in a while his curiosity or sense of obligation take over. Book can get pretty gritty and edgy, but it never goes too far and leaves some things to reader's imagination. Occasionally, it veers into old-fashioned Hollywood movie territory, but this happens about once per volume. There are four volumes, that make two story arcs. In the first one, Crow is trying to bury a rich gold miner, who demanded to be laid to rest in his first gold mine. In the second story, Crow is tracking down a man from his past to make up for a mistake form his past.
Art is excellent, wiring is overall good to very good, character are good and play off of each other very well. Even female characters; author manages to write them as competent, but without making them into bitches and Mary Sues. They are still wrong, they get physically and mentally hurt, die, and make mistakes. There are certain things about wild west that an English woman and an old Chinese female servant have difficulties dealing with that men don't wince. However, they also have their own strengths.
My only complaint is that there are a few instances of modern colloquialism used, but they are not as obvious as those in Stern.
I put all volumes on our vola and mega. I might storytime it sometime next week as well.

>Violent psycopath kid doing psychopath stuff
That makes it sound like Squee and that other shit from the 2000's "cutsie edgelordery" phase. Dennis The Menace (and many other Beano Characters) was more about a kid who plays pranks, but they are taken to cartoonishly ludicrous extremes. In one early strip of his (from the 50's, The Beano itself is an anthology that started in 1938) he gets bored with the bumper cars, so steals one, puts the engine from his dad's car in it, and goes "hunting" at a big motor show, demolishes everything and complains that nobody wants to play with him.
Also in addition to making the stories like you said, I swear they've gender-swapped his friend Pie Face (hey, Archie has "Jughead", roll with it). That or they've made Pie Face adopt the androgynous fashion males had circa 2006, over a decade too late, which wouldn't surprise me. I stoppef getting the beano partly because I was growing out of it anyway, but also partly because at some point in the late 90's it stopped being it's own thing (which, much like Archie, was set in an eternal 1950's with a few odd nods to modernity) and started chasing "youth trends" , referencing them months or years too late. Kids can see straight through that shit. I really doubt it's going to survive the twenties, let alone reach it's 100th birthday.

It's basically the reason Europe has grown to love F1 Racing.
First appearing in Tintin comics, he has become a separate cultural icon here in Europe.
Basically, the role model of every Racing Division in Europe. Going so far as to get referenced in the 2017 FIA Endurance Championship.
The comic is known for it's realism, at least most of it.
English versions are very hard to find, but it's fantastic non-the-less. Although Michel himself is a very Flat Character, it's worth for the racing itself.

Quite a few recommended comics in this thread are actually currently ‘ongoing’ French comics. Requiem, Cold Sun, Undertaker, Ekho, Lastman, Les Sisters, Dark Moon Chronicles, and quite a few other are just some examples. I do not know enough to properly deduce any trends, but market seems to lean more towards Fantasy today, while it used to be more science fiction oriented in the past. Some new 'art style genres' are also emerging, 'loose' and rough digital artwork is probably the newest one.
As far as big sellers go, old juggernauts like Asterix, Lucky Luke, Thorgal and so on are still going strong.
I did come across few articles saying that Marvel and DC comics are gaining attention in France due to movies, but they are still a small fraction of the market, dwarfed by European albums and manga. Having said that, capeshit titles are growing pretty fast, unfortunately. I am afraid that if they grow too big, French comic book market will be ruined. Another alarming sign is the market share decline suffered by traditional Franco Belgian books - especially established ones like Asterix. However, share loss might be caused by an overall growth of the comic book market in France - it's just that new readers are children and capefags.
<Some information I stumbled across at random:
Requiem apparently recently had surge in sales. According to Pat Mills it is in part thanks to a French youtuber who made a video about the comics.
http://archive.is/if48v
Patt Mills is fighting with Rebellion (2000 AD's current owner) over royalty payments. Mills claims that he and involved artists are not fairly compensated.
http://archive.is/mlqLZ
Asterix is going to be 60 years old this October. There will be special material released to celebrate it. It seems like there might even be a special album with multiple creators contributing to it. Nob and Barbucci posted snippets of the pages they were working on and there are surely other artists working on their portions as well.
There is not that Much information on non-Franco-Belgian comics. More and more Spanish and Polish comics and creators end up in France. Italian comics seem to be dominated by cowboys and action, but some new publishers emerged and there is a strong influence of Manga and French comics on newer titles. 2000AD is still chugging along, and Pat Mills is working on new anthology for all ages. It is called Space Warp and they are looking for artists right now. millsverse.com/spacewarp/. Artist and co-creator of Blacksad is working on art for an adventure comic about Spanish sailors and smugglers from 17th century. It is supposed to be a sequel/successor to El Buscon. The Book is called 'Les Indes Fourbes' or 'The Deceitful Indies' in English. That's where pictures are from.

I did some reading during few months of downtime and found three decent books.
>The revenge of Count Skarbek
It's a great story, especially if you like Dumas, Hugo, and other French writers from that period. It is about an impoverished Polish nobleman who used to live in Paris but was forced to leave. He is back years later with a ton of money, ready to have his revenge, and to set the record straight. It is mainly a revenge tale, but contains a blend of courtroom drama, swashbuckling adventure, political intrigue, crime mystery, romance, and action. Courtroom case is used as a framing device for past and recent events.
Art is very good overall, although some panels appear a bit rushed. All of it is painted, and Rosinski manages to avoid common pitfalls of stiff panels. I do not know why, but many artists have especially hard time handling action scenes when painting. Other than that, he makes panels of talking heads very varied and expressive, so courtroom scenes do not get boring to look at.
>Castle in the Starts
Pretty good fantasy story set in 19th century with some science-fantasy elements. The protagonist is a son of french inventors who discover secret of harnessing aether energy (it basically allows gravity manipulation), which would allow flight without balloons and interstellar travel. His mother perishes in one of the experiments and father stops the research. Years later father is finally convinced by possibly insane Ludwig II of Bavaria to build an aether ship from him. Prussians are the villains, who attempt to steal the secret of harnessing aether to help with conquest of Bavaria, and then the world and other planets. Story starts falling apart a bit in the third volume, but it's not bad. It's just that too much ends up hinging on the kids and their decisions.
Artwork is a mixture of classic manga, Ghibli, and European comics. It's pencils and watercolor, and the artist is equally good at grasping characters, machinery, and architecture. Very good overall.
>The Adventures of Jerome Katzmeier - The Walls Have Teeth
It's just an absurd, surreal comedy. Paris is a jungle where salesmen are tigers, sharks live in walls, and people eat mammoth chops for dinner. Jerome Katzmeier's son ends up eaten by a wall-shark, so Jerome embarks on a journey to get his kid back. Not much else to say, it's just wacky and humorous, with some interesting visual gags. Art is terrific and a perfect fit for the story. Not all jokes land, but I assume that some humor was lost in translation - as it usually tends to happen.

Different dwarves star in every issue. Men, women, bearded and otherwise. It's great.

Nigger, YOU try working a forge all day without getting your beard burned off by a stray spark.
Besides, the example I posted is, if I remember correctly, a young, edgelord dwarf who shaves as some sort of fuck you to the old dwarves due to his being treated like shit for being a congenital fuckup. Like a young jew trimming his curly things to piss off the elders of zion traditional jews.
If you're an aficionado of little men with giant axes, I highly recommend it.

Not yet ripped: "Mal Tournée !" (Bad Turn)
>Daphne wakes up after a monumental bender. But no time to gather all her memories, she has an important meeting to attend. Except that when she gets out of the house, she quickly realizes that something is wrong: everything that reminds her of sex from near or far materializes before her eyes! And bad luck, she has a badly turned mind… Very badly turned. Whether it's a slit that turns into a vulva, a pole into a penis, or a grandmother's two-way phrase into a torrid embrace, her entire environment seems to have turned into a psychedelic adult film straight out of a disturbed brain. Between excitement and incomprehension, Daphne will have to survive her day and try to understand where this strange illness comes from…
>The "Porn'Pop" collection is enriched by a new original, whimsical and sensual one-shot, concocted by a trio of French authors: Clotilde Bruneau for the script, Isa Python for the drawing and Scarlett for the colour. A free and daring comedy that puts all fantasies in the spotlight, revisiting Sigmund Freud's libido in a pop sauce.
