About 2 weeks ago I attended a conference which included a 3 day seminar on war comics. Several of the organizers were from Ghent. I truly learned a lot about Belgium comics. I was most suprised that one of the more popular Franco-Belgium comics is a historical comedy set during the US Civil War. If anyone is interested in contacting these scholars let me know.

I used to get hold of the odd 'European' comic when I was a Kid. The Incal was a definite favourite of mine. I'm actually flying to Italy tomorrow. Tuscany to be precise. It's my first trip abroad in years. I usually fly to the states as I have relatives there but I've been lucky enough to get my flight and accomodation to Italy paid for. How good is that?

There will be a trip to Lucca on the cards. With a bit of luck euro comics and I can get reacquainted.

a really nice podcast. here's a link to the official website of 'le scorpion' (sorry in french, but there are some nice wallpapers or artworks).
i've checked the cinebooks pdf catalogue (2009 spring) and there are lots of nice series. billy and buddy, blake and mortimer, the bluecoats, buck danny, iznogood, lucky luke, yakari , thorgal or yoko tsuno are classics like tinitin or asterix are. all the +15 series i saw on the catalogue are excellent ones and should be checked ...
bry, paquet, the editor of romain hugault (le grand duc) begin to translate some bd to english.
i can recommend you the first hugault bd, it's called 'le dernier envol' and it has been translated to english

It was really nice to see this podcast back after some time.

Especially because it's impossible to find any other podcasts talking about BD.

It seems the podcasting culture hasn't really reached the french comic fans since not even in french there's anything similar to this.

Bryan, you asked about sugestions. Here's a couple:

- How about "The Killer" by Matz & Jacamon? You seem to like it and I have to agree that it's very good;

- a couple of american bloggers are writing really good reviews to everything released by Humanoids\DC some years ago. You can find some interesting info here: http://joglikescomics.blogspot.com/

From what they already talked about I would suggest "The Incal".

you're right, there are no podcast about bd even in french (or i don't know where to find them).
there are some local radio and national radio programs speaking about bd (week reviews or something like that).
there's a tv program every week called 'un monde de bulles', half an hour dedicated to bd ...
there's also a page on a national tv station site dedicated to bd. there are lots of interviews (text and videos), coverages, previews, etc ...

Thanks for the tips. I already knew "Un Monde de Bulles" but that other link was filled with great interviews.

Would it be possible for anyone that owns this book to add it to comicbookdb.com ? I want to put it on my wishlist.

by the way bryan, it's impossible to contact you, your inbox is full. i begun the translation of 'le grand duc'. i've done the 23 first pages, i think it'll be done for the end of the next week.
the translation will be of poor quality but i hope it can help you to understand the great lines and meanings. i hope you'll modify and rework my translation in order to have a better quality one (with the right expressions at the right place) and make it available to anyone that want it.

Sebastien, could I recommend that you try getting involved with ComixInflux? I'm sure they'd be happy to help you edit your Grand Duc translation if you post it over there.

Just curious, but is there anyway to get Bede in book form? You know just words, no pictures? The Scorpion sounds soooo good. I love all that Historical stuff. maybe it just a pipe dream but who knows...
