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

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

Oh it's ON, baby!!

Nah, it's mainly just a silly goof-con, in which case almost every sci-fi series one might possibly imagine has plainly borrowed from earlier ones in one way or another. At least, I THINK so.

That said, I seem to recall Mézières being pretty upset about this at some point. In any case, he passed on a couple years ago, so hmm...

EDIT: Whoops, pardon. This specifically appeared in the annex of the Cinebook edition of v2, The Empire of a Thousand Planets. There was a text accompaniment that I could post, if necessary. It was pretty rubbish, frankly.

Good stuff to know.

Hopefully, in terms of SW, The Hero's Journey and Kurosawa were mentioned at some point?

it talks about how some of the xwing vs tie fighter scenes were copied shot for shot from old wwii dogfighting scenes, also campbell's hero with a thousand faces, among other things--definitely worth watching

Excellent, thank you.
