You were not kidding, this is seriously great. Completely new territory for me, but the excerpts won me over.

What is "BD"?
BD stands for "Bandes dessinées" or "Drawn strips". Apparently it's a separate culture to American Comics, popular in France and Belgium. The Adventures of Tintin, Asterix, and The Smurfs are all BDs you may have heard of.
Ahh, ok got it. Thanks!
What’s the best way to buy this in the US? $66 on Amazon feels steep. Are kindle versions good?
