francophone comics
Oct. 28th, 2011 11:44 pmReading 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.
