francophone comics

[kindkit]

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.

If you want something more contemporary and science fiction, there's the series Yoko Tsuno which was one of my favorites growing up. Here is the link to the wikipedia summary http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoko_Tsuno.

It's been twenty years since I've read them so I don't remember if they were any racist or sexist elements, but as a girl I thought it was cool that it was all about Yoko's adventures and that the focus was on her.

That sounds really interesting, thanks!
