“BD” refers to Franco-Belgian comics, but let's open things up to include ALL Euro comics and GN's. Euro-style work from around the world is also welcome!

* BD = "Bandes dessinées"
* BDT = Bedetheque
* GN = graphic novel
* LBK = Lambiek
* LC = "Ligne claire"

Please DO: 1) follow good 'netiquette' and 2) the four simple rules of lemm.ee (this instance) when posting and commenting. As for extracts, they're fine, but don't link to pirated downloads.

MODERATION: If you happen to make a mistake upon the above, then please don't worry about it. We'll likely just laugh it off and let you know. OTOH, obvious bad-faith and hostile efforts will not be tolerated here.

I had an idea yesterday, so let's see how you like it. Below are sequences from ten classic BD series in which a well-known character is about to first appear. How many can you guess? (hint: these appear alphabetically by character name)

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

6.

7.

8.

9.

10.

I'll give you a couple hints:

  1. It's one of the ~four core characters of the series.

  2. At the time he's just a low-level type, working for the keeper. And we already know he's not Marvin the dragon.

That's gotta be Herbert then. Which fits because I think this excerpt might be from issue #1 of the Zenith series. But technically, in the universe's chronology he does appear once before that moment (in the Monsters issue about Jean-Jean I think)... But it was also released after/during the Zenith run in the real world iirc.

Herbert of Craftiwich, yes!
Okay, thanks for the note about Monstres. I may have missed or forgotten his appearance there.

It's basically a cameo, he appears for like 3 panels at most. The group knocks at the dungeon's door and he's the one who greets them.
