“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"

Please DO: 1) follow good 'netiquette' and 2) the four simple rules of lemm.ee (this instance) when posting and commenting. As for extracts, they're fine, but don't link to pirated downloads.

MODERATION: If you happen to make a mistake upon the above, then please don't worry about it. We'll likely just laugh it off and let you know. OTOH, obvious bad-faith and hostile efforts will not be tolerated here.

I had an idea yesterday, so let's see how you like it. Below are sequences from ten classic BD series in which a well-known character is about to first appear. How many can you guess? (hint: these appear alphabetically by character name)

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

6.

7.

8.

9.

10.

Pfew, hard one

  1. No clue
  2. Bianca castafiore
  3. Could be so many characters, no idea :)
  4. Never read it
  5. Kriss van Valnor? No idea for the remaining ones.

My European comic knowledge is very limited :) Should have more Jommeke, Kiekeboe and Suske and Wiske! ;)

Two & five are correct! Very nice guessing Kriss, as that was one of the hardest ones IMO.

Should have more Jommeke, Kiekeboe and Suske and Wiske!

I can definitely do the latter at some point, but of the first two, I suspect they aren't well-known outside Belge. Feel free to post about them here sometime to help people get a taste..

Oh, 8 must be the brothers dalton?

The art style of 10 reminds me of Johan and Peewit, but I'm probably wrong. Don't know the comic enough to remember individual characters. Also looks a bit like Smurfs. Basically Peyo artstyle :)

Oh, 8 must be the brothers dalton?

Very good. Now who did they meet there?

Also looks a bit like Smurfs.

Absolutely correct. The first appearance of the Smurfs was in J&P, and they were disguised as we see above. (notice the blue foot and hand sticking out)

  1. Rataplan!

Also, going through my own comics, The asterix one (3) is ofcourse Idefix! Forgot he didn't appear right from the start. Haven't read them in ages!

That's where my guesses end. I have not read any of the other comics. I did found out that Wake is from the first panel. Looks cool, will check it out.

Yes. RanTanPlan, excellent.

Sillage (Wake) is the best sci-fi series I've ever read in BD. I'll have to turn the spotlight towards that one soon!
