Druuna is a post-apocalyptic science fiction series by Paolo Serpieri, that takles issues like transhumanism and social struggles. But for the most part it's about showing some ass.

Druuna was based on Brazilian women ass.
Does great on both counts, too. Love me some Druuna.
Reading Aldebaran right now. Just started part 3 and I'm really liking it so far. English speakers be sure to get the decensored scan, as the tits are pretty dank and occasionally make certain scenes less retarded.
Some of the scenes in this are pretty insane, too. Really like the creatures, and it's pretty clear that Leo mostly wrote this to show them off.
It's more of a redboard comic, but I've been trying to find an uncensored (and hopefully translated, but it's not a dealbreaker) copy or DL of "Annibal Cinq, or The Last Five Women I've Known" (I THINK that was the full name of it). It was a comic Heavy Metal translated back in the late 90s, but I'm pretty sure they chopped it up a lot.
Also, does anyone else know Frezzato? Guy is one of my favorite comic artists, gorgeous style mixed with some more cartoony elements.
Keepers of the Maser guy? Yeah, I love Frezzato.
Been on an early Heavy Metal binge lately. Can't believe I haven't given it a shot till now.
I found Aldebaran really rough to get into because the writing (translation?) is so stilted and weird. It's a wonderful series though. Lots of tits.
I'm used to stilted translations. Cinebook's really bad about them. Thorgal got me used to their writing style. It was just so fucking pretty and had such cool stories I couldn't let a shitty translation get me down.
What's your favourite non-french or belgian European comic? I have only read Corto Maltese but aside from that all I can find from my country are newspaper strip comics.
It's not European, but I fucking loved Metabarons. Steelhead's crazyass story in particular.
european comics have been absolute savors for me when all the american comcis turned into sjw garbage
They're my personal bastion as well.
they'll turn int mudslime garbage soon.
I'm sure european comics can handle a lack of bacon.
I don't understand why the translations have to be so bad. I read one last night where the translator didn't know that 'clair' was slangy short for 'clairement' (Clearly) and instead kept including references to a Claire who was never in the scene.
It's crazy. And that was a professional translation they expect people to pay money for, not a scanlation.
Indifference I suppose. Just an unfortunate side-effect of enjoying a deeply underrated industry.
That is pretty fucking bad. Luckily Cinebooks hasn't hit me with anything that awful just yet. If there's any real reason it should be maligned, its for its censorship.
Here's a page from Aldebaran that was particularly infamous. Goes without saying that he's not looking at a bra here.
Does anyone else feel like Eurocomics generally suffer from bad pacing? I feel like there is some need sometimes to wrap up the plotline in a single album. I found the Bird of Time series and the one with glass swords both rather dissatisfying because of this. Bois-Maury spin off a bit too, though I was mostly reading that one for knight art.

Sure thing José
wait so was she naked in the original comic and the drew a bikini over it?
Yep. Even funnier is that the top she was wearing was exactly the same size as the bra.
The next couple of panels show the guy take this as a signal and go all out for a panel or two. Made sense if she was tits-out. None whatsoever if he was looking at a nice brassiere.
and the frensh version isn´t censored?
I wander if the german version is free of censorship as well because I can read it
The French version isn't censored, no. In fact there's a decensored version of the english translation floating around on the torrents that used the French version as a basis.
I have no idea about the German edition, but I doubt Cinebook publishes there, so I'd imagine it wouldn't be censored there either.
Cinebook needs the largest possible audience to be viable so they make their books all ages with creator participation. Leo himself drew those bras.
What's weird is when NBM did Wake, the artist offered to draw a top for Navis but the publisher chose to go with big black censorship bars over her tits instead.
wiki only mentions the english version so I should be good
man the comic overall seems right down my ally
I don´t know why but I had always a obsession with alien saffary and alien colonization kind of stories I love seeing all the weird alien animals and the whole idea of mankind starting from scratch on a new planet always seemed fun to me
>What's weird is when NBM did Wake, the artist offered to draw a top for Navis but the publisher chose to go with big black censorship bars over her tits instead.
Yeah, that one is super stupid. But they probably figured it'd be cheaper.
Found some Keepers of the Maser hardcovers in an abandoned suitcase a few years back. Stuff's a great read.
Yeah, you came to the right place, then. It's largely about how humankind has adapted to its new planet and how it's still adapting to recently discovered things. I also find the reason these people are isolated from Earth to be pretty interesting. Definitely a better reason than "Earth got blown up" or "Earth was too polluted".
Yoko Tsuno was cute
Yeah, I first ran into it in "Heavy Metal, surprise surprise. Had a folder of artwork of his I found online that I used as drawing inspiration before I lost it in a system crash.
What the fuck, NBM. Were they afraid of paying the artist for the extra work?
Do the later books explore the sci-fi elements that have been hinted at the beginning of the series, or not?
>"It's the only way to have an audience these days" edition.
Generally nude children and teenagers work better.
The Cinebook continuum dropped almost all the fantasy stories in favour of ancient aliens.
Oh come off it. Francs and Belgians are horny and like to draw. Of course they're gonna draw delicious brown ass while also providing good stories.
Rather than endlessly push agendas they typically do what the fuck they want, and it works. If it ain't broke....
>I wander if the german version is free of censorship as well because I can read it
The Germans generally don't censor by drawing over tits, but by taking books out of circulation completely, just sayan. But no, no nipples were deleted from the German release.
Heavy Metal was the gateway to good comics for me. Eventually got me away from capes altogether.
So, I heard you guys like good euro pin-up girls?

I suggest Critone, Ledroit and Serpieri
It's funny how in Germany the pirate DVD/CD market is still thriving because of how restricted their internet is in providing access to music or movies or video games.
Casotto, too, as she's actually member of the feminist movement. Pic related.
>Thorgal without fantasy stories
O_o
One of the earliest examples of weaboo in french comics, I think.
That's my main problem with it and I'm French. Well, maybe I read to much manga, even though I started with classic French comics (Astérix, Lucky Luke, Spirou et Fantasio, Gaston, Barbe Rousse, XIII).
For short stories, 50 pages is ok but when the story span on many volumes, the obligation to have a beginning, development and an ending in each volume impairs the pacing.
50 pages is not much. Often, when there is a big dialogue scene, it feels like caracters are each doing monologue instead of a proper conversation.
Dunno, it may be because I'm used to it, but at least it ensures that the story moves forward. It's even worse with old albums that were initially published in magazines, because you have the "suspence de fin de page", where every page has to be self-sufficient.
Of course there are albums where the story is rushed, or graphic novels where nothing happens, but when I compare it to a korean manwha where a single dialogue can take more that two chapters and half the panels are useless, I know where my preference lies.
And I love to see how authors play with medium limitations.
pic related. Quay d'Orsay, a comic biography of De Villepin, the french prime minister at the stratr of the second gulf war. It's excellent, and I strongly recommend it to anyone. Published in english as Weapons of Mass Diplomacy.
It's why a lot of us read japanese comics as well, yes.

I think Critone gave me a shepherdess fetish, which is particularly hard to satisfy.
The two aren't mutually exclusive.
Then it's xenophilia.
We all got one.

Lacking context there but I never saw "clair" be used as a short for "clairement", it's usually it's own word meaning clear
But the translator himself must have lacked context if he tried to reference a nonexisting character
Clair' is used for Clairement like Totes is used for Totally by kids.
"Tu l'as fait?!!!!"
"Clair!"
Any relation to The Metabarons? I seem to remember somewhere important called Aldebaran in that...
Moomins
>which is particularly hard to satisfy.
...with recent material, yes. But bucolism used to be huge in pornographic literature and art.
I really enjoy Luca Enoch's original series and Volto Nascosto. Shame that the english release of Dragonero got fucked over by them starting out with the origin story, which is basically an extremely compressed comic version of a generic fantasy trilogy's plot.
None that I know of. Aldebaran is a real star system though. A lot of sci fi stories mention it.
I do wish there was an English release for these, translations are fine and all but physical releases are always nice to have.
The Gaston comic Franquin drew for Amnesty International in the '70s.
In glorious full size hard cover.
Buy the French ones. Impress the bitches with your worldly sophistication.

Translators usually gets paid per page, so it's really tempting to just load the script through google t/l and just even out any glaring mistakes, instead of actually putting some effort into it.
This is the main reason I still haven't read the last 2 tomes of Dark Moon Chronicles. After discovering scanlations and being used to read stuff in english, instead of my own language, the obvious google t/l usage is really glaring when I open an officially translated tome.

>lol, why would the reasonable people who form military juntas kill a guy who writes the funny books

>His daughters were arrested and disappeared, as were his sons-in-law.
We talking the Eternaut's writer?
Yes, this guy gets it.
I can say with absolute honesty, I don't have a sophisticated bone in my body and I'm too lazy to fake it.
's probably right though.
Yep. He wrote "Che" about guess-who and the junta killed most of his family in retaliation. According to the wiki, his widow survived, and a grandson or two were born in captivity and freed later.
According to that page he actually joined a Leftist Guerilla group. I'm sorry, but if you join an armed rebellion you're fair game. We can argue which side was in the right, but he was a combatant, with all that entails.
It doesn't entail execution.
Yeah it does, if you're in a shitty country with a secret police, you're fair game for secret executions.
What are you talking about? People get executed all the time in civil wars. And not just 3rd world hell holes either (though, the 3rd world is the only place that has actually had a civil war in a while; that may be changing though). Read up on some of the civil wars in Europe or the American Civil War for that matter. It is the nature of the beast.
>another thread ruined by Sup Forums because they have to justify right wingers and complain about leftists all the time
Yes, I know they get executed. That doesn't make it right, which you guys seem to be implying.
Rape is also "the nature of the beast" in war, that doesn't mean I'm gonna comment the rape of those nuns in Salvador with "Eh, it was a shitty country with a war going on, they were fair game"
I'm not justifying anything I'm just saying he knew the risks when he signed up. It's not like they just killed him for writing anti-government sentiment.
Che admirer gets Che'ed.
>Muh Sup Forums boogeyman
>n-n-o guys! I just talk and act like a Sup Forumstard but I swear I never visited the place!
This kind of thinking can be broadened until it's meaningless.
The American people elected presidents and members of Congress that made actions in the Middle East which helped Islamic fundamentalism. Which means the people in the towers were "fair game".
But it doesn't. It was horrible and wrong.
I've only been there once or twice. Didn't care much for it. But if you insist:
Achtung! The French Comics thread has been outmaneuvered and surrendered like a little bitch after minimal resistance. This is now a Right Wing Fringe Press thread. Post your European comics with a radical right wing world view. Or tits/ass. We consider cheesecake and soft core porn to be acceptable tribute from limp wristed French Leftists. No gay shit though. Unless it's lesbians. Or something. Heil Trump!
But this guy wasn't a bystander in a building in Buenos Aires. He joined an honest to God armed rebellion that was waging war against the government. He was a rebel soldier, not a civilian.
That's not how it works, it means the Regan Administration was fair game. If activists killed them they were fair game and were just a casualty of the actions of Operation Cyclone. Sadly though, the only Regan assassination attempt was over Jodie Foster.
I'm saying someone who joins a resistance willingly accepts some risks like this. The people in the towers didn't accept those risks.
>Euro
British comics too?
Well, duh.
For now but Brexit is looming
I'm still hoping for an eventual translation of pic related. It looks like it could be decent slice of life fun.
EU =/= "Europe"
Otherwise Norwegian and Swiss comics aren't European. They're... something not European apparently but no one knows what it is supposed to be.
>I'm saying someone who joins a resistance willingly accepts some risks like this.
>He was a rebel soldier, not a civilian.
And if he was killed in battle, that would be "fine". But he was kidnapped, imprisoned, tortured/starved and the executed.
That's wrong.
>The people in the towers didn't accept those risks.
They did when they voted Reagan into office.
Well, technically we don't actually know what happened to him after he was last seen by 3rd party sources. But he wasn't kidnapped. He was captured by enemy forces. He was imprisoned, because that is what you do with Prisoners of War. He was probably tortured. That was probably morally wrong. But it's not like his side was any better. He may have been starved. Or he may just not have been fed as well as he was accustomed to. This is normal for prisoners. He was almost certainly executed. Because insurrection and treason are capital crimes. Most governments do issue a general amnesty when they win the war for lowly grunts. But enemy propagandists are usually held to a higher standard.
Wait, what was this thread about again?
Exactly, if you vote in someone who is so dedicated to the Cold War that he's gonna finance Mujahedeen and nun rapists then you do have a certain amount of responsibility for the shithole that the areas in question turn into.
But it's also absolutely unacceptable to say that these wre fair game, and that's what I was trying to prove. That the principle of "he knew the risks when he signed up" can be broadened until it's just crazy. It's ridiculous.
We also don't know if he even joined the guerillas. As the wiki says, "he is believed to have joined". So now we don't know anything. Great.
