Chevalier Brayard (2017)

Chevalier Brayard is on his way back home from the crusades, accompanied by the young monk Rignomer. On their travels, they cross paths with a young girl, Princess Hadiyatallah, who turns out to be a hostage on the run. Brayard does not hesitate for a moment: he decides to escort the princess back to the orient to return her to her father in exchange for a ransom, and drags Rignomer along on the adventure. And so begins a journey that promises to be particularly fantastic... Zidrou, Porcel Francis

Philippe Tome, Mac Hardy - FIRE 1 (2005) (Scantilation)

A rocket carrying a human baby girl crashes on a distant planet where intelligent dinosaurs have developed a civilization. I really like Hardy's cartoonish style here. Unfortunately, due to disagreements between the creators and the publisher, the series will not be continued, even though a second album was written and drawn. Some nudity and violence.

Griffo - Beatifica Blues vol 1

The world has become a vast desert and to survive, humans need the Beatifica Blues, a little miracle pill to breathe. This pill has become the currency, and it is the government that manages it. Beatifica Blues is a 1980s post apocalyptic fiction so it is somewhat dated but that's fine, it is still million times better than your average American comic. The series was 3 volumes, and is simply the prologue of the Samba Bugatti series. The plot isn't very logical at times and Dufaux himself admits it, but it was an early work by him.

Pierre Tombal

Pierre Tombal is a Belgian gag cartoon strip, drawn by Marc Hardy and with text by Raoul Cauvin, about a mortician and the dead people at his cemetery. The series is in syndication since 1983 and published in the Belgian magazine Spirou by Dupuis. A running gag is Pierre's rivalry with the preprietor of acrematory and a captain who favors burial at sea. In Dutch the series is published under the name G. Raf Zerk. In Spanish as Pedro Tumbas.

Pierre Tombal centers around an undertaker, Pierre Tombal (a pun on pierre tombal, gravestone in French), who owns a cemetery. He is able to talk to the dead people in his graveyard, which often freaks out visitors, especially when the corpses talk or react back. Pierre functions as a spokesperson, servant, aid and trustworthy guard on benefit of the people who are buried there. Many black comedy jokes are about the various ways his customers passed away or how they spent their daily lives at the graveyard.
