ah, the auld bande dessinee





Today, my good friend and workmate, Matt O, came back from what was, by all accounts, a great time in Portugal. I have a present for ye, he says, and gives me the above comic, over here such a thing would be called a graphic novel and cost about £13, over there such a lovely thing involving nudity, fantasy and violence costs a mere euro 2.26! that's it! I'm learning Portuguese and moving over there and reading comics and maybe meeting some barbarian woman...

I hate to point this out to you Chief but I think that's actually a French comic. Still Portugal would be a great move for you.

Ah, i see, I haven't kept up with the European comics, bad me, too much superhero guff, my friend was staying portugal and this a portugeuse translation of the french comic, it's the nearest I've got to European comics since buying (and regretting reading) Heavy Metal recently. Who's that? is that JB?
