Have any of you read European Comics? I mean the ones made by Vandersteen, Uderzo/Goscinny or Herge?
They were quite big when I was a kid and I ate them for breakfast, lunch and usually dinner too.
My favourite was 'Suske & Wiske' (Some issues publiced in the States under the name 'Willy & Wanda'). I owned them all. I still do all though I stopped collecting in my teens (Girls became more interesting somehow).
I just wonder if you ever read anything from Europe and what did you think.

Stuff Judge Dredd Nemesis The Warlock Bad Company Slaine: The Horned God Marshal Law Loved all of that stuff (despite some of its hyper-violence and deep misogyny).

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.

Being from Europe, well yes, a lot!
I have lots of stuff from the Europeans. Tintin, Asterix (my favorite), spirou, lucky Luke (Wich is a cowboy lol),Adele Blanc sec (God I love these), Corto Maltese and many other stand alone including albums from Milo manara, moebius, Hugo Pratt (that wrote Corto Maltese), Wich are adult oriented with manara having a lot of erotic stuff that it's unbelievable like the click series.
Many of these have several movie and cartoon incarnations, and theme parks and many have new albums coming out to this day.
The thing is except maybe Britain, Europe doesn't have the comic industry like the states with comics being sold each month in a serialized fashion. Most of them come whenever the author finish it and it's a whole story, in a proper book form called albums. So sometimes you wait years for the next installment and for some like asterix, the most popular it gets full honors of a major book coming out. Displayed at book stores, it tops book sales, reviews by book critics. They have hardcover edition or paperback. It's for all matters a book that happens to have drawings inside. It's a very, very different way of doing things, not worse or better just different.
For me the us and Europe ways of doing things always coexisted. I loved when a new book came out at the stands and loved when it came out at the bookstore. (Only when I was a grown man did we have dedicated comic stores)

I read a lot of Asterix as a kid.
Other than that European comic reads mainly consisted of British titles - Beano & Dandy, later Battle & Warlord, Captain Britain and Marvel reprints, then later 2000 AD, Epic, Warrior (my intro to V for Vendetta & Marvel/Miracleman), Deadline (Tank Girl) and Viz.

well, my recollection is hazy as I stopped reading & drawing comics when hitting puberty, and I did not distinguish their origins as a kid, but I remember:
- Asterix was big, we even officially read one issue in school in Latin class translated into Latin (no joke; alea jacta est, lol) - Adventures of TinTin - Lucky Luke, Yps etc

Actually I also remember a history lesson in primary school based upon Asterix. |
