I would say all of them FOCUS on being beautiful ALL THE TIME, but they'll have very pretty art or beautiful landscapes.

I didn't read tintin for the art. I liked his adventures. And it's been a while since I read them But since you bring it up, that's a pretty nice shot of the rocket.

Some of the art in "Ennui GO!" is very beautiful. Especially the mandala inspired stuff like this.

It's not what you get for most of the comic (and it tends to be a lot more lowbrow), but on some occasions you get beautiful pages like this.

It's also one of the few examples of non-sexual nakedness in the comic.

There's also other pages with great art like this one.
But Idk if this would count as beautiful for OP. It's more body horror or nightmarish psychedelic or something. So I dont know if it fits the thread, but its worth a mention.

The music in song of the sea was also great. It's not purely a visual experience. The ones that stood out the most to me are the song in the intro and the song about seaweed that some of the magical creatures sing .

It also quoted some incredible poetry:

There's also a lot of porn in the first half of the comic. (The porn is usually kinda mid in my opinion).

Yeah Im posting another comic that kinda reminds me of the tintin art style and moebius artstyle.

This is Basileus.
It used to be a webcomic, but he's finishing it as a printed comic. He's on social media as basileuscomic.

You used to be able to read it all on the website for free:
http://basileuscomic.com/

You can get the first book here for free apparently. Idk if the second book will also be free.

It has some good art. every so often you get these massive spreads or landscapes that abbadon draws.
It's not always beautiful in the same way as the other stuff. It's like looking at ancient ruins sometimes, though there is vibrant and green stuff sometimes.
