“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"

Bleu à la lumière du jour has a very haunting, noir-ish feel to the art. The dialogue is sparse, making the big, silent panels even more exaggerated in their quietude. I am still learning French, so I am slowly reading/translating it piece by piece, as sparse as the dialogue is, but am relishing soaking in the sumptuous atmosphere that Gonzalez has sculpted in these panels. Definitely highly recommended.
"Blue to the light of day" = um, "Blue of daylight?"
No, wait... "Daylight Blue?"
No, wait... "Blue like Daylight?"
Bah!
Thank you so much for sharing this, speaking as a fellow French-learner! It sounds really promising, because I love stuff like L'ours Barnabé that's almost specifically designed for A1/A2 idiots like me. 😅
Also, silhouettes in general really send me... <3
Hmm, at first I didn't think I'd heard of this (Spanish) artist or tome, before, but then I checked out some SAMPLES, and I think I did read either the ENG-version of A Gift for a Ghost, or maybe Nuit Couleur Larme.
Yeah, I'm gonna try tracking down this book, and thank you again for taking the time to post and share. ^^
Haha, close! According to Google Translate: "Blue in Daylight". I used my French dictionary and was thinking "Blue in the Day".
I was looking specifically for BD with minimal text as well. That, and comics written for children. Oh man, A Gift for a Ghost looks amazing. I have to say I really am loving Gonzalez' style. I'll have to check out his other stuff soon.
If you are wanting the physical copy of Bleu, Stuart NG has it for $30 I believe.
For sure! I used to lurk over a /r/bandedessinee. It's nice that this community is here, since I try to avoid Reddit at all costs these days. I'll definitely be around :D
Thank you so much for your help. <3
