do you prefer franco-belgian or italian comics in your country?
Franco-Belgian comics were my childhood
>>219270788which ones? asterix and tintin were the ones I read the most as a child
>>219271173Asterix, Tintin, Lucky Luke, Spirou, Marsupilami... I used to read and reread them over and over along with some non-Franco-Belgian ones (Turma da Mônica and Disney comics)
Zagor was popular in Yugoslavia and my dad used to have a collection of Zagor comics.
i read a bunch of "Urbanus", but it's cynical as hell, and local cultural references so it doesn't translate at all
>>219270693italian comics were more popular here but asterix is the goat
Love Tintin. Read Asterix & Obelix as a kid, but now I can't separate author from art anymore. Lucky Luke was okay. Never cared for Corto Maltese.
Tex willer is an absolute classic
>>219271306>turma da mônica and disney these were exported from brazil right? I remember that most of these comics had a pt euro price in the front cover. I was very surprised when I learned that turma da mônica was a success in portugal lol, I've also read disney comics a lot
>>219271749I don't know if the Disney comics were exported from Brazil, they were all in European PT. As for the Mônica ones, they were certainly successful with me, I would read one every day when I went to the beach in summer, but I never saw any other kids reading them. The kiosk lady got rich off my grandparents' money selling me those
>>219270693Fun fact: Hugo Pratt was a high ranking freemason and Corto Maltese is full of hermetic and esoteric references. Umberto Eco once said "when I want to relax I read Hegel, when I want to ponder I read Corto Maltese"
>>219271941I believe only these old ones were brought to portugal

Corto Maltese is such an amazing read, it made me want to kill myself so I might be reborn in Europe where I could grow up reading it instead of finding out about it in adulthood.
