Hello ! I am looking for a set of drawings, I can't remember where I saw them. The common theme was hidden jobs inside automatic machines. Like a cut view of a man working inside an automatic distributor, or inside a ticket validator. Does it ring a bell to anyone ? It might come from french or belgian bd, maybe from Spirou magazine. Probably more than fifteen years ago.

Thanks in advance !

I’d like to share a few pages from Les Larmes d’Opium, the second book in my graphic novel trilogy, published several years ago by Éditions Delcourt.
The entire book was painted by hand using watercolor and acrylic, a traditional approach that allowed me to create a distinctive atmosphere, rich textures, and expressive visuals.
I wanted to share some pages from this work because many comic book readers may never have had the opportunity to discover this book, which was published a few years ago. I hope you enjoy seeing these pages and discovering a little of my artistic journey.
I’m a professional comic book artist and illustrator with decades of experience, and I’m always open to professional collaborations and new projects.

Thanks for looking! I’d love to hear what you think of these pages.

Two wordless pages from Stratos 3. Prado establishes the spatial relationships so thoroughly that he can cut between extreme close-ups and long shots without losing the reader. Modern moviemakers could learn a few things about filming action by studying these panels.

The cover is from the 1976 French publication; the interior page is from the 1977 Heavy Metal translation in English.

I have seen it online and am wondering what order I read it

Hello everyone! I’m looking for ideas for a bookcase to store my comics. Any suggestions or examples would be welcome! 👍🏻

Olivier Vatine is new to me; I love the way his pages are stuffed without feeling cluttered. The same feeling of "good" busy that you see in Moebius; you know where your eye should land.

Does anyone have any recommendations for selling/offering a lot of comics?

Below is a piece of the collection, the rest is more child-oriented. https://www.imgur.com/a/QGdWg3V

Voici ci-dessous un bout de la collection, le reste est plus axé enfant. https://www.imgur.com/a/QGdWg3V

Title:
The Indestructibles – Pages from a 5-Issue Miniseries for Darby Pop
A few years ago, I had the pleasure of working on The Indestructibles, a five-issue miniseries published by Darby Pop.
I’m very happy to share some pages from this project, which was one of the most fun and enjoyable comics I’ve ever worked on.
The Indestructibles is a wonderfully crazy parody about the origins of superheroes, mixing superhero action with horror, grotesque elements, dark humor, and plenty of absurdity. The story takes place in Los Angeles, where the characters find themselves moving through a strange and unpredictable world.
It was a fantastic collaboration with Darby Pop, and I still have very fond memories of working on this series. Looking back at these pages now, I’m particularly happy to share them with fellow comics fans and artists here on Reddit.
I’m always open to new collaborations, comic projects, covers, illustrations, and other creative opportunities.

Thanks for looking, and I hope you enjoy the pages!

A while back I saw a comic that NECESSARILY consisted of an odd page and an even page, i.e. a single sheet (printed on both sides). The peculiar thing was that it showed three or four armed characters at what looked like a wall, seen head-on in the panels, with shots coming out of it and shots being fired at it. The twist is that the ones being shot at were themselves, firing from the other side of the wall. One of them dies fairly early, maybe from his own shot, and I think none are left at the end.

It's from the 1990s at the latest, and not the late 1990s. There are three or four characters, with a bit of a sci-fi feel because of the weapons they carried. One dies early and his companions say something like "what bastards!" ("qué cabrones"). I think they all die at the end from the bursts of fire they hit themselves with from the other side (I vaguely remember they fire those bursts after their companion's death). I saw it in an adult (underground) comics magazine published in Spain.

So sad what is happening to a great plateform for comics of all types

Modifications and new design of my old strory

"New Mexico," by Philippe Paringaux & Jacques de Loustal. Published in Métal Hurlant #67 bis, Spécial Automobile (September 1981).

Diners, cars, money, big sky, domestic disappointment, true crime: these could have been kitsch but they add up to something real and beautiful. The deadpan of the prose isn't irony, it's restraint. I'm not a native French speaker; if you are, can you comment on the tone? I find it as good as anything in Mildred Pierce.

The pose is iconic, from Frazetta to Jovan to Luke Skywalker.

Les Armes, l’Opium – A Noir Trilogy Painted Entirely in Watercolor and Gouache
I’d like to bring some attention back to a project that is particularly important to me and represents a significant part of my long career as a comic book artist and illustrator.
“Les Larmes D’Opium is a trilogy I created several years ago for French publisher Editions Delcourt. It is a hard-boiled crime story set between the United States and various parts of Asia, involving drug trafficking, murder, violence, and international crime.
The main character is an American police officer who becomes increasingly involved in a dangerous situation that goes far beyond what he could have imagined.
The entire trilogy was drawn and painted traditionally, using watercolor and gouache. It took me several years of work and a huge amount of energy and dedication, but it also gave me enormous artistic satisfaction.
Even after all these years, “Les Armes, l’Opium” remains one of the projects I feel most attached to in my long career. That is why I wanted to bring some of these pages back to light and share them here.
I have been working professionally in comics and illustration for more than 40 years, collaborating with European and American publishers. I am always open to new collaborations with writers, publishers and creators, and I’m available to discuss new projects and explore what we could create together.
If you are interested in my work or have a project you would like to discuss, feel free to contact me.

Thank you for taking the time to look at my work. I hope these pages convey at least some of the passion, time and energy I put into creating them.

The title seems like a mouthful to request at the comics shop.

Scout McCloud would have fun exploring these transitions.

Later published in English by Heavy Metal.
