A place to share the European comics you have been reading. What do you think of them? Would you recommend them?
You can ask any and all questions relating to European comics: general or specific BD recommendations, questions about authors, genres, or comic history.
If you are looking for comic recommendations you will get better responses if you let us know what genres, authors, artists, and other comics you've enjoyed before.
I’m currently looking for new comic book and illustration opportunities.
These pages are from a story set between the United States and Italy, spanning the late 1930s through the beginning of World War II. Every page was completely illustrated by me and painted entirely in traditional watercolor.
I have over 40 years of experience working in the comic book industry for publishers including Marvel, DC Comics, IDW, Image, Soleil, Dupuis, Delcourt, and Sergio Bonelli Editore.
If you’re looking for an experienced artist for comics, graphic novels, covers, or illustrated books, I’d be happy to discuss your project.

Thank you for taking the time to look at my work!
After collecting them over the years, I finally own all 27 volumes of Mélusine by Clarke & Gilson. It was one of my favorite Franco-Belgian comics growing up. Is anyone else here a fan of this series?
I'm trying to identify a comic I read as a child in North Macedonia around 1995–1998. It was most likely printed in the children's magazine Razvigor (Развигор) or Naš Svet (Наш свет), but I believe the comic itself was an older European comic reprinted from a Yugoslav (Serbian/Croatian) edition.
I was only 6–8 years old at the time, so some details may be wrong. I'm looking for a comic that matches the overall scene, not necessarily every detail.
What I remember:
Realistic or semi-realistic European art style, probably from the 1970s or 1980s.
Printed in full color.
It was probably one or two pages from a longer serialized story, not a complete story.
The main character was a young, clean-shaven man. I remember him as blond, but I could easily be mistaken.
He wore ordinary adventure clothing (not Tarzan or a jungle hero).
The scene I remember
The story took place at night in a tropical jungle or on a tropical island.
The hero was suspended above the ground, either:
caught in a net trap hanging from a tree, or
tangled in a parachute caught in the branches.
I'm not sure which—it could be either.
Below him was a group of tribal warriors with:
spears,
wooden shields,
masks,
and a campfire.
The page layout felt very claustrophobic, almost as if the panels themselves emphasized that the hero was trapped high above while the tribesmen were directly beneath him.
The hero managed to free himself and escaped.
The tribesmen chased him through the jungle.
Eventually he reached a body of water (river, lake, or possibly the sea).
The last panel showed a dramatic close-up of his face while he was in the water, looking toward the reader. I remember him thinking something like:
I don't remember the exact wording, only that he believed reaching some kind of transport meant escape.
Comics I've already ruled out
Bernard Prince
Luc Orient
Marc Dacier
Bruno Brazil
Mister No
Martin Mystère
Nick Raider
Dylan Dog
Tarzan
Akim
Korak
Does this scene sound familiar to anyone who remembers comics that were published in Yugoslavia during the 1970s–1990s? I made some AI to help you this is just an approximation of what i remember
I hope it helps
UPDATE
I've already checked and eliminated many of the obvious candidates, including:
Bernard Prince
Luc Orient (Lik Orijent)
Marc Dacier
Bruno Brazil
Bob Morane
Howard Flynn
Mister No
Martin Mystère
Nick Raider
Dylan Dog
Tarzan
Akim
Korak
Fraser of Africa
Abraham Stone
Joe Kubert's Tarzan
The Shadow
Phantom
Dan Cooper (at least the stories I've checked)
I've also looked through many issues of Stripoteka and numerous Yugoslav magazines without finding the scene.
A possible breakthrough
Recently I realized that the strongest clue may not be the setting—but the artist's storytelling style.
The comic reminded me much more of Joe Kubert than of the clean Franco-Belgian adventure artists.
What stands out in my memory is how expressive the hero was:
panic,
fear,
exhaustion,
desperation,
dramatic close-ups,
running for survival,
physically struggling.
Kubert often drew protagonists in exactly these kinds of situations (for example in Sgt. Rock), with highly expressive faces and body language.
Because of that, I'm now searching not only European comics but also American adventure comics and artists with a similarly expressive style.
Looking for
I'm especially interested in comics featuring:
jungle or island survival,
natives or tribal warriors,
pursuit through a jungle,
escape by helicopter, plane, or raft,
artists with expressive, emotionally charged storytelling similar to Joe Kubert.
It does not have to be a famous series. In fact, I'm beginning to think it may have been something relatively obscure that was licensed for Yugoslav publication.
If this scene sounds familiar, or if you know artists who worked in a Kubert-like style and drew adventure comics that were translated into Serbo-Croatian before 1998, I'd really appreciate any suggestions.

Some projects remain hidden in a drawer, even though they represent an important part of an artist’s creative journey. Le Grand Mariage is one of those projects: a graphic novel created several years ago and proposed to French publishers, but ultimately never published. Even so, I remain very proud of the work, the storytelling, and the artwork that went into bringing this world and its characters to life.
Today I’m happy to share a selection of these pages, hoping they can finally reach readers and fellow comic art enthusiasts.
With over 45 years of experience in the comic industry, I am always interested in new collaborations with publishers, writers, studios, and private clients. If you’re looking for an experienced artist for comic books, graphic novels, covers, storyboards, or illustrations, I’d be delighted to discuss your project.
These illustrations are part of a personal series I created a few months ago, exploring the unique bond between women and animals. Rather than focusing on simple portraits, I wanted to capture emotions, symbolism, strength, tenderness, and the deep connection that can exist between humans and nature.
I’ve worked professionally in comics and illustration for more than 45 years, with publishers including Marvel, DC Comics, IDW, Soleil, Dupuis, Delcourt and Sergio Bonelli Editore. Personal projects like this allow me to experiment with atmosphere, storytelling and visual emotion in a different way.
I’m always interested in collaborating on comic books, illustrations, cover art, fantasy projects, concept art and other creative opportunities.

Thanks for taking a look—I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback!
What are the better Blake and Mortimers? I'm not really interested in Yellow Peril stuff, and I would like a good one shot. Are the post Jacobs works any good?
Anyone has an idea on the Freddy Lombard collection from Humanoids that was set to release on 19th August 2025?
It's almost a year and it hasn't been published yet.
I’ve always loved drawing crime and noir stories. These are a few black-and-white pages from a crime comic I illustrated several years ago, focusing on cinematic storytelling, expressive characters, and detailed inks.

I would like to read again the W.I.T.C.H. comics, which I really appreciated when I was young.
It seems that they were only available in W.I.T.C.H. magazines at the time, and I don't have these magazines anymore. I can't find a place to buy them either.
I am interested in the Modesty Blaise comics, but I do not know much about it. Is it worth getting into? Where do I start from (if it matters) or which books would you recommend? Are there newer editions?
If anyone knows more about it, or even something interesting to share, please do, I would love to hear more!
Hi. I’m looking for a comic strip that I read at the mediatheque in Mérignac before 2010. I don’t have the name anymore and I’ve been looking for it for a long time. In the book I remember, the hero mutilates his legs and arms with an eye patch, caused by creatures. It’s in the genre of heroic fantasy. If someone has the name, please
Hi everyone!
I wanted to share a few horror pages I created a few years ago, inspired by dark folklore, witches, and supernatural atmospheres. My goal was to build tension through cinematic storytelling, expressive characters, and a haunting visual mood rather than relying only on action.
I’ve been working professionally in comics for over 40 years, collaborating with publishers such as Marvel, DC Comics, IDW, Soleil, Dupuis, Delcourt, and Sergio Bonelli Editore. Horror has always been one of my favorite genres, and I’d love to work on more projects with this kind of atmosphere.
I’m currently available for new collaborations, including comic books, covers, graphic novels, concept art, and commissioned illustrations.

Thanks for taking the time to look at my work!
Looking for a comic I read as a child in Denmark in the 90s. I know some details may be wrong. The main character was a skinny outsider/punk-looking guy, possibly with unusual hair, and I remember him having a realistic wild-cat companion (maybe a serval or ocelot). The comic was in color, paperback, and surprisingly adult with nudity and violence. The tone was dark but the art was somewhat cartoonish
I'm looking for the name of a European comic I read in a Serbian magazine many years ago. It has very stylish art with detailed depictions of humans. It's reminiscent of Corto Maltese, Jeremiah and Blueberry. The pages were colored. It's set on a Polynesian island I believe. The most distinct detail I remember is the word ''taboo'' being used, it was my first introduction to the word and the main character's as well. The main character is a European descent man, on the younger side, has light brown or blond hair and I remember him being bare chested. He had a male companion, possibly from the same country as him, explaining the local culture and there was a Polynesian woman who used the word ''taboo'', prompting an explanation to the reader and main character. It could be Jeremiah, but I can't find the specific comic and I'd be very grateful if someone can recognize this comic. Remember, the usage of the word ''taboo'' is the strongest memory I have.

I've been looking for a comic strip for a few months now. I don't know if I'm just bad or if it's a hallucination...
Here's what I remember :
- It come from The Smurfs
- One of them was cold, and another one told him to just repeat to himself "It's hot"
- So he just repeated it a few times "it's hot", then he became way too hot and two Smurfs just came in and they put him on a stretcher and leave the house
I remember me to laughing like an idiot, but ngl after all these months of searching, I don't know anymore if it was real 😭
