French Comic Coverage on BBC
Nice piece on the French/European approach to comic from the BBC.
If you look further you will see that the BD section - pronounced Bay-Day - is in fact sub-divided into several categories. There will be classics - Asterix, Tintin, Lucky Luke, the cowboy who shoots faster than his shadow - plus many that never made it out of Franco-Belgium, like Rahan - l’enfant des ages farouches or child of the age of savagery - about a Tarzan-like figure from prehistoric times. There will be the latest best-sellers. Top of the book lists this month - beating Harry Potter and the latest on President Nicolas Sarkozy’s love life - has been the last in a long-running adventure series called Thirteen about a man trying to rediscover his identity after losing his memory.
