What were your first French comics?
Franco/belgium comci/cartoon thread
Josiah Powell
Angel Perry
Hard to say since a lot of stuff I read was most likely franco-belgian without me even knowing about it (same way how my first anime was most likely Nils Holgersson or Maya the Honeybee).
I know that I was reading petit spirou and gotlib by 1994. Before that I had a Smurfs book (the magic egg), and Serge Dutfoy's comic book history of rock (pretty sure I got them around 1991, since that's around when I learned to read).

What are some other Franco-Belgian comics/cartoons with /ss/?
Gabriel Watson
Jodorowsky's Incal & The Metabarons. Crazy, crazy stuff
you might as well ask if flies have wings
Josiah Martinez
nothing but the best
Daniel Stewart
Anyone read this?

Should I story time the two first album of Dungeon of Naheulbeuk (I only have two)?
It's only in French though and I'll have to scan the pages one by one.

I strongly encourage you to. Specially if you put the raw scans online. You'd do a world of good.

Every kid I know, knows about Asterix & Obelix.
James Martin
my scanning skills aren't too great, and the printer-scanner is rather a bit too small for the size of the album.

Tintin meets Cthulhu was better.

I can't remember the name of it, but it was about this dumb blond kid who would constantly copy from the smart girl sitting next to him. He would often get told to sit in the corner next to a skeleton model.
James Cook
Tintin. Everyone in first grade wanted to get their hands on one of the library's volumes of Tintin or Calvin and Hobbes. Eventually I found the joys of Asterix. My dad brought some translated volumes overseas. The Latin puns are so good, and every time you come back, you find a little more to laugh about.

I am, user. Thanks.
Feels good to speak french.

You can listen to the MP3 voices on penofchaos.com

which sometimes some lines get lost in the comic.

Once I finished scanning the first album, I might try to translate it. But I'm not sure if my translation are going to be accurate.

Well tell anyone who is relying on the translations to be 100% accurate to suck a dick

Asterix was big when I was a kid, just getting a new edition with lexicon where they'd shortly explain all pop-culture and historical references. Surprisingly I haven't read Thorgal until I was a teenager, despite Thorgal being huge in Poland.

Pretty sure it as actually the J.C Menu/Baudoin/Mattt Konture stuff in the lats issue of Weirdo ("Vierre D'Eau", #28). This would have been '93/'94, I think?--wait, no, woulda been '95 because I didn't start reading UG/"alternative"/artcomix before then. Weirdly I never cared for Tin Tin or Asterix and that stuff until well into adulthood (never liked Asterix, though, even with the amazing art).

To make a scan that doesn't suck dick you kinda have to cut the spine off the tome, thus destroying it.
If there's a whitespace border, and you're willing to be a little brutal, you can get away with not cutting the spine and then fixing stretches up in photoshop afterwards.
Austin Martinez
Thanks man, you're a bro.

Asterix and Obelix but i was introduced to them by the 12 tasks movie

slow ass traduction sorry.
James Hernandez
Awesome. Please post a download link at the end.
Anthony Jenkins
Yeah, the entire Cosmic Horror arc was good. Very welcome after how that Tintin and Alph-art was mangled by long production time
I still can't stand how they ended in cliffhanger after Tintin entered the Black Lodge. Does anyone know when next album is coming out ?
Owen Collins
it might take a while, friend
Lucas Watson
ah..miss Chiffrè.

Shortlived thread, but it has a couple pointers on cleaning.
I don't want to turn you off on scanlating, but if you're not going to do it right (cleaning/tranlating/typesetting) then you might as well just post the translated lines along with the image and hope someone else fancies doing the editing.
Alternatively you could post WIPs, asking for feedback and then do a release later when it's done properly.

Does Blake and Mortimer count?

Asterix and Lucky Luke.
Ian Russell
These blew my 12 year old mind.

The original Spirou was a bellhop at a hotel. When he went on his adventures he kept the clothes. The original teen Spirou that is. Little Spirou just keeps the style.
Justin Murphy
You have patrician taste.
Camden Rogers
Has the third one been translated yet?
Hunter Price
Oh shit no just remembered it was a Claire Bretecher book my Aunt gave me when I was about 13. Not sure if she read it before giving it to me...she's a painter and teaches at one of the best art schools in the UK and is a total "fine art" elitist, she probably thought comics were all basically the same, but because it was French it was OBVIOUSLY more "sophisticated"...God she's so stuck-up and elitist.

Why were all the Blake and Mortimer comics published in a random order by cinebook?
Logan Bennett
no idea, I don't know them.

Eli Kelly
Same reason thy did it with Lucky
Luke.
Leo Nelson
what's stopping you?
Austin Campbell
Because Cinebook a shit.
They don't give a toss about continuity and publishes whatever album they think will sell best.
Carter Morris
I've got Andrax in German and Agent 327 in Dutch and I'm tempted to start running shit through google translate just to see if I can come up with a script that makes any kind of sense.

My Costanza folder isn't big enough for a proper reaction.
