francophone comics
Reading Tintin has done a lot to de-rustify my French; I'd like to keep reading French, but I don't want to read Serious French Novels. I thought I might branch out into more comics as a start.
Wikipedia helpfully informs me that Blake and Mortimer and "many [other] Belgian comics have had . . . themes of confirmed bachelors living together." I've made a list of all the comics mentioned (Blake and Mortimer, Spirou and Fantasio [which doesn't look wildly appealing], and Tif and Tondu).
Anyone have other recs for French-language comics? I'm looking for things originally written in French, not translated into French. Good storytelling is primarily what I'm looking for; m/m slashiness is nice but not essential; actual queer content would be awesome. Recs for contemporary-ish comics, especially science fiction and fantasy, are extremely welcome.
And if you want to recommend sff novels in French, that'd be great too.

Asterix! But only the first 24, which are by both Goscinny and Uderzo. Buckets of sexism, racism of the national stereotypes variety, great plots and the most amazing puns ever.
Persepolis (both book and movie) by Marjane Satrapi is really fascinating - lots of people liked volume 1 better but I liked both volumes.
For something around the same age as Tintin, The Adventures of Alix is supposed to have a great deal of subtextual slashiness, though I've only read part of one story in English.
