OT: European Comics

I have been a big fan of the European school of comic books (as opposed to the American and the Japanese schools) since I was a kid. When I was growing up, Asterix and Tintin were huge. I also loved Lucky Luke, a western parody. Later I discovered Hugo Pratt, Moebius, Enki Bilal, Luc and François Schuiten (these are authors, not characters).

I am looking forward to Luc Besson's movie adaptation of Valerian, a long-running French sci-fi comics series.
