Oolala, I really liked this cool topic from our [~big brother/~sister] sub, r/bandesessinee, so I’ve done a small tribute, listing all titles in order, filling in [settings] and (creators), and adding clickable samplers… all presented by Super-Grover!

Please enjoy. ^^

    Interesting list, most of those comics are unknown to me, except Yoko Tsuno and The White Lama. I would like to read Pema Ling by George Bess, do you know if it´s in the same universe as The White Lama?

    Oh and I really like Super Grover! XD

      I haven’t read that series, but I’ve asked the original commenter.
      I will let you know if I get a response.

      Just speculating-- since the writers are different (Jodo vs. Bess), I would guess that aside from themes and historical context, there’s not much connectedness. But we’ll see…

      Oh and I really like Super Grover! XD

      Are you familiar with him at all?

      If not, he’s one of puppeteer Jim Henson’s “Muppets,” and most commonly occurs on a children’s TV show, Sesame Street.
