I just finished Blacksad, it was excellent!

[DarthVixReads]

Thanks Courtney! I'm going to read Blacksad!

[Jennifer]

Blue is the Warmest Color, Corto Maltese, and Bandette are also options!

[Shirley]

Blue is the warmest colour has been on my radar a while so thanks for that. Plus blacksand sounds great too.

I was hoping Blue is the Warmest Color was a watercolor comic so I'd have an excuse to read it for that challenge but maybe some other time ...

When I discovered that Panels had it's own Read Harder Challenge I'd already read Beauty, which was also originally French. I don't like the conceit of that every man who sees a beautiful woman would want to basically rape her, but it's a really clever original fairytale with beautiful art.

As my mother tongue is German, I read The Sandman, Vol. 10: The Wake for this task :)

Oh man - their other recent work, Beautiful Darkness destroyed me last year, and I still pause every time I see it on the library shelf. Haunting!

I read Aya for this challenge, and then ended up reading the rest of the series. It's about life in 1970's Ivory Coast. It was fun.
