Have you read the Euro comic called Zaya?
>>
No, what's it about?
>>
I don't like her footwear. Looks too much like a real 3d whore and not a pretty manga character which is what the facial design is clearly going for.

I've read the first volume, completely forgot about it until searching.
It's by Jean-David Morvan, the writer of Wake (Sillage) and also Reality Show, which had a very bleak view of society.
I'll dump a few Zaya pages

My first impression too, maybe trying to be like The Nikopol Trilogy. I also tried reading Morvan's Reality Show, but it's too bleak.

This action is really hard to follow.
In part it is because everything has a lot of texture detail so characters and backgrounds blend.

I recall it was about some space agent who comes to realize that she's trapped by some parallel dimension shenanigans.

He drew a couple new Corto Maltese book and had a load of projects with other writers, you mean? France and Japan don't care about the porn you drew when they hire you to not draw porn.

Poungi la racaille was a gag series with antro females in the style of italian disney comics
Elle(s) and Dans mes yeux were stalker POV comics, A taste of chlorine was a story about an awkward teenage boy pinning after his physical therapist and Hollywood Jan was about an awkward teenage boy dealing with his issues by keeping a stable of 80s action movie stars as his imaginary friends.
For the Empire is a roman-themed fantasy story.
Polina's slice of life about a ballerina and her relation with her dance teacher.

The The Melons of Wrath got published, the prequel to Little Pete, which ended with Little Pete's dad raping his daughter's rapists to death with his giant dick and the daughter taking up body building.

Lastman is basically a Shounen battle comic.
La grande odalisque was about two cat burglars specializing in art theft.

Three of his original comics have been adapted to movies. He overall seems like somebody who can keep his inner gooner in check.

The French has:
>Je t'ai decue? Tu ne veux pas me repondre? Bon, ben alors... merci.
>Oui, jamais, pas du tout, desolee.
>Et "Merci", c'est vraiment la derniere chose a dire a une femme apres l'amour.
Deepl translation:
>Have I disappointed you? You don't want to answer me? Well, then... thank you.
>Yes, never, not at all, sorry.
>And ‘thank you’ is really the last thing you should say to a woman after making love.
Is French "Merci" used to mean sorry here?

wasn’t exactly thrown out.
last i read the court ruled it wasn’t within their legal jurisdiction so it got sent back to prosecutors who may retry him again.
doubt anything actually happens to him or his publishers though.

Lol no, he's going strong

>>152100542
Kinda half and half. He's famous for both greatly sensitive and understated comics like Polina, popular adventure like Lastman and trollish provocative stuff like what 4chan knows him for. Ain't a wunderkind for nothing, he's one of the major french comic authors of the last 20 years and acts like it.
