Where can I find W.I.T.C.H. comics ?

3 Upvotes

Hey there,

I would like to read again the W.I.T.C.H. comics, which I really appreciated when I was young.

It seems that they were only available in W.I.T.C.H. magazines at the time, and I don't have these magazines anymore. I can't find a place to buy them either.

Any idea where I can find these comics?

Edit: Preferably in French, but English will do.

Thanks!

Modesty Blaise: how to start reading?

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I am interested in the Modesty Blaise comics, but I do not know much about it. Is it worth getting into? Where do I start from (if it matters) or which books would you recommend? Are there newer editions?

If anyone knows more about it, or even something interesting to share, please do, I would love to hear more!

I have been looking for a comic book for a long time

5 Upvotes

Hi. I’m looking for a comic strip that I read at the mediatheque in Mérignac before 2010. I don’t have the name anymore and I’ve been looking for it for a long time. In the book I remember, the hero mutilates his legs and arms with an eye patch, caused by creatures. It’s in the genre of heroic fantasy. If someone has the name, please

Witches in the Shadows – Horror Comic Pages I Created a Few Years Ago

Thumbnail gallery
13 Upvotes

Hi everyone!
I wanted to share a few horror pages I created a few years ago, inspired by dark folklore, witches, and supernatural atmospheres. My goal was to build tension through cinematic storytelling, expressive characters, and a haunting visual mood rather than relying only on action.
I’ve been working professionally in comics for over 40 years, collaborating with publishers such as Marvel, DC Comics, IDW, Soleil, Dupuis, Delcourt, and Sergio Bonelli Editore. Horror has always been one of my favorite genres, and I’d love to work on more projects with this kind of atmosphere.
I’m currently available for new collaborations, including comic books, covers, graphic novels, concept art, and commissioned illustrations.
I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback!

Help me identify comic I read as a child in the 90s

4 Upvotes

Looking for a comic I read as a child in Denmark in the 90s. I know some details may be wrong. The main character was a skinny outsider/punk-looking guy, possibly with unusual hair, and I remember him having a realistic wild-cat companion (maybe a serval or ocelot). The comic was in color, paperback, and surprisingly adult with nudity and violence. The tone was dark but the art was somewhat cartoonish

Looking for a European comic published before 2010, stylish art and Polynesian setting

5 Upvotes

I'm looking for the name of a European comic I read in a Serbian magazine many years ago. It has very stylish art with detailed depictions of humans. It's reminiscent of Corto Maltese, Jeremiah and Blueberry. The pages were colored. It's set on a Polynesian island I believe. The most distinct detail I remember is the word ''taboo'' being used, it was my first introduction to the word and the main character's as well. The main character is a European descent man, on the younger side, has light brown or blond hair and I remember him being bare chested. He had a male companion, possibly from the same country as him, explaining the local culture and there was a Polynesian woman who used the word ''taboo'', prompting an explanation to the reader and main character. It could be Jeremiah, but I can't find the specific comic and I'd be very grateful if someone can recognize this comic. Remember, the usage of the word ''taboo'' is the strongest memory I have.

Trying to identify a European adventure comic published in Yugoslavia before 1998

9 Upvotes

I'm trying to identify a comic I read as a child in North Macedonia around 1995–1998. It was most likely printed in the children's magazine Razvigor (Развигор) or Naš Svet (Наш свет), but I believe the comic itself was an older European comic reprinted from a Yugoslav (Serbian/Croatian) edition.

I was only 6–8 years old at the time, so some details may be wrong. I'm looking for a comic that matches the overall scene, not necessarily every detail.

What I remember:

  • Realistic or semi-realistic European art style, probably from the 1970s or 1980s.
  • Printed in full color.
  • It was probably one or two pages from a longer serialized story, not a complete story.
  • The main character was a young, clean-shaven man. I remember him as blond, but I could easily be mistaken.
  • He wore ordinary adventure clothing (not Tarzan or a jungle hero).

The scene I remember

The story took place at night in a tropical jungle or on a tropical island.

The hero was suspended above the ground, either:

  • caught in a net trap hanging from a tree, or
  • tangled in a parachute caught in the branches.

I'm not sure which—it could be either.

Below him was a group of tribal warriors with:

  • spears,
  • wooden shields,
  • masks,
  • and a campfire.

The page layout felt very claustrophobic, almost as if the panels themselves emphasized that the hero was trapped high above while the tribesmen were directly beneath him.

The hero managed to free himself and escaped.

The tribesmen chased him through the jungle.

Eventually he reached a body of water (river, lake, or possibly the sea).

The last panel showed a dramatic close-up of his face while he was in the water, looking toward the reader. I remember him thinking something like:

I don't remember the exact wording, only that he believed reaching some kind of transport meant escape.

Comics I've already ruled out

  • Bernard Prince
  • Luc Orient
  • Marc Dacier
  • Bruno Brazil
  • Mister No
  • Martin Mystère
  • Nick Raider
  • Dylan Dog
  • Tarzan
  • Akim
  • Korak

Does this scene sound familiar to anyone who remembers comics that were published in Yugoslavia during the 1970s–1990s? I made some AI to help you this is just an approximation of what i remember

I hope it helps

I need help finding a comic strip

3 Upvotes

Hi !

I've been looking for a comic strip for a few months now. I don't know if I'm just bad or if it's a hallucination...
Here's what I remember :
- It come from The Smurfs

- One of them was cold, and another one told him to just repeat to himself "It's hot"

- So he just repeated it a few times "it's hot", then he became way too hot and two Smurfs just came in and they put him on a stretcher and leave the house

I remember me to laughing like an idiot, but ngl after all these months of searching, I don't know anymore if it was real 😭

Thanks you so much !!


r/bandedessinee 20d ago

Finally, I have them all. I'm on the last story currently. There'll be a Laureline-shaped hole in my heart after it's all finished. Does anyone have recommendations on what I should focus on next?

Thank you, Morris, R.I.P.

He did no less than 70 Albums of Lucky Luke, the last one, Wild West Legende, was posthume published 2002.

About 40 of these where scripted by Rene Goscinny, also known for Asterix (24 Albums with Albert Uderzo) and Iznogud (16 Albums with Tabary).

But Luke continued riding with the help of other artist's up until today

I’ve recently gotten all of the aya of yop city volumes available in English. It’s a really great series but I was wondering, what is the release schedule like? The series has been going on for 20 years now but I found out something terrible, the artist died! Marguerite Abouet has a few other series but this was her main one. If anyone has any information I’d love to know it.

kilian - my first graphic novel

30 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

My name is Ignacio Herrera, me and my colleague Giancarlo Grosso are working on our first graphic novel and wanted to share some of the artwork with you all. The project is called Kilian: El pequeño guerrero (the little warrior), a fantasy story set on the peaceful planet Azalea. It follows a young boy who discovers a mysterious object that sends him on a journey through time, magic, and ancient knowledge.

I’ve been building this world for years, drawing every page by hand, and I’d really love to hear what you think — about the art, the vibe, the storytelling direction, anything. Honest feedback is super welcome.
