My all time favorites are:
The Incal - Moebious & Jodo
Before the Incal - Janjetov & Jodo
The Meta Barons - Giménez & Jodo
Fragments of the Encyclopedia of Dolphins - Prado
Nikopol Trilogy - Enki Bilal
The Techno Priests - Janjetov & Beltran & Jodo
Jeremiah - Herman
Megalex -Beltran & Jodo
What do you think about those and what are your favorites?
Trying to get into Enki/nikopol but it is so bleak and text heavy that I had a hard time sticking with it.
Yeah, the Nikopol Trilogy is pretty dystopian stuff. If it gives you a bad mood maybe read something else. What about “The Gardens of Aedena” by Moebius? I found it to be light and uplifting while still feeling deep and intense.
Thanks to a recommendation by @amazing2@lemm.ee , I’m now checking out “Dylan Dog,” and wow, I’m mighy impressed(!)
For some reason I thought it was going to be just a mediocre pulp detective series, but it’s really much more of a… metaphysical work, I guess is the word. Sort of like Milo Manara’s Giuseppe Bergman series, but less absurd and more focused.
I hope to do a proper review when I get a better feel for the overall work.
I’m not much a bédé fan, but I read the “The Meta Barons” a long time ago, and found it very interesting… If a bit too violent (or sometime crude) for my tastes.
My favorite series is certainly the Achilles Talon series. Which, granted, have sometimes more text than images on the page.
Funny, I just randomly came across that series today. I’ll have to check out an album or two.
Btw, I’m trying to provide a diverse series of reviews in this community, so maybe one day you’ll find something else that sounds interesting.
I have no idea what it’s worth translated, but “Le Roi des Zotres”, “La Main du Serpent” and “L’archipel des Sanzunron” (in French) are some of my favorites. The hurricane of puns is a sight to behold.
