The 100 Best European Comics in Chronological order

Man, the thoroughness of your content continues to amaze me.

good stuff, great recommendation

Awesome list, a subsection I admittedly have next to no knowledge of. Cool to see how a lot of the themes and genres paralleled those of America at the times. Also interesting to see so many Euro books about American subjects lol

Blake and mortimer top one

Absolutely F A N T A S T I C video! I´m always cheering for European Comics and love to see channels giving them spotlight.

Your Must Read-list in the description reminded me how bad I am at making any Top Something lists. I tried to do my own version here but ended up arguing with myself. For me the difficulty is not putting certain comics on that list. The problems start when I realize I have to leave something out. Your list showcases well the diverse topics and genres of European Comics. Three Moebius works is also a bonus in my world!

Fun fact : In Europe, you don't say comics, you say BD.

Big fan could you kindly do a video on the best legion of superheroes comics?

How does Thorgal rank among these for you? That one sounds really cool to me. Trying to decide which ones I'm most interested in reading first, besides your top 10.

Most needed content... since most of US comics fans and specialists perspective is the whole comics world is about US

What a dumb list. Too much Moebius, too much Alan Moore. Too many modern books. Too many drab realist books. You left out Requiem, Maser, Beano, barbucci, Marini, Lauffray

Where is Tardi?😢

i'm searching France Comic, but i dont know the pronouns comic creator Pe Louse or Peluse, and comic is Picle Nicle 😅 i dont know how to spell the words may be someboy can help me- thank you ❤

The best mangá too please

Great list, thank you!

I highly recommend Rafał Mikołajczyk's comic "Invincible" is a graphic adaptation of Stanisław Lem's hard science fiction novel, published in 1964

That's a great list. Are all of these translated into English?
I've also recently started to post European comic and graphic novel videos on my channel.

No mention of Graton’s Michel Vaillant? Vance´s Bruno Brazil? Weinberg’s Dan Cooper?

Considering everything is going to crap in the usa with so much woke content, it's in europe where you can find good quality comics nowadays.

I miss MacCoy, Dan Cooper, Michel Vaillant, Tango, Sisco, Barracuda, Julie Wood, Durango, Comanche, Jim Cutlass, Bruno Brazil, Bruce J. Hawker, Barbe Rouge, Le prince de la nuit, Turi & Tolk, Pittje Pit, Masquerouge, Les 7 vies de l'Epervier, Rick Master, Ringo, Roderic, Les Tours de Bois-Maury, Gentlemen GmbH, Giacomo C., Le scorpion, Buddy Longway, Jonathan Cartland, I.R.$, L'Épervier, Tanguy & Laverdure, Andy Morgan, Apache Junction, Vasco, Lady S., Mémoire de Cendres, Kai Falke, Sven Janssen, Agent Alpha, Les chemins de Malefosse, Ramiro, Jhen, Cubitus, Valhardi, Howard Flynn :-)

Fantastic, comprehensive list, with almost all of my favourite artists/albums (even some often overlooked dutch titles)! The only one I really missed was Jacques Tardi - but I am impressed by this presentation none the less.

Comment??? Who would call a decent FLEMISH series like Suske & Wiske or a FRENCH one like Asterix FRANCO-Belgian? That language border is a thing in comics, you know... Calling all French and Belgian series Franco-Belgian is either a demonstration of being lazy or one of being ignorant.

Do you recommend European comics about adventure, action, sci-fi, fantasy, or superheroes other than the ones you mentioned in the top 10?

The Metabarons are way more then the spin off of Incal...also Thorgal is a Belgian-Polish comic book

Sometimes i forgot that as a franch speaking individual, i have access to so much graphic novels. Almost Everything gets traduced in french, but french "bande dessinée" almost never gets traduced in other languages. And there is so much more than what's shown here. Titles that are sooooo great.

Alack Sinner?

The Belgian part of Franco-Belgian is actually 2 distinct "schools". Of one the editor is located in Brussels, and is considered producing the more "serious" comics with leading comic "Tintin", the other one is located near Charleroi and produces more "unhinged" comics, think "Gaston Lagaffe". It's leading comic is "Spirou".

There are a lot of "best comics" not mentioned, for example: ARKÉ, of "CAZA", "CHOSES DE LA VIE", of LAUZIER, "HOMBRE" of José Ortiz, "Las 7 vidas del gavilán", "VALERIAN", "Le vagabond des limbes" , "EL MERCENARIO" de Segrelles, "GIPSY" of Marini, and a lot more.

I might be prejudiced due to Dutchness, but I would add Hanco Kolk's Meccano series. The style is just too unique to ignore.

was about to yell "where is Astérix" but its there.

Andrea Pazienza

Lauzier

Jean Giraud, a.k.a. Moebius, his series called 'Lieutenant Blueberry' shows his development as a comic artist beautifully.

I had my mom on the phone once when she told me she read one of my comic books and found it very 'disconcerting'. I immediately knew she'd picked 'The walls of Samaris' by Schuiten & Peeters. An absolute must read.

I have soooo many of these comics.....😁

A shame you didn't mention Valhall/Valhalla by Peter Madsen, though admittedly I have no idea if it's available in that many languages.

'Valhalla', a Danish cartoon telling the stories of the Norse gods..not the American style Valhalla, but the God realm as the Vikings imagined it.

European: almost French and Belgium 😂

I can understand that Metabarons may be considered Franco-Belgian because of the original publisher, but the fact that Hermann's Comanche and Bernard Prince were dropped is surprising.
