Use this thread to talk about task #8: Read a comic that was originally published in a language different from your own

I just finished Blacksad, it was excellent!

Thanks Courtney! I'm going to read Blacksad!

Blue is the Warmest Color, Corto Maltese, and Bandette are also options!

Blue is the warmest colour has been on my radar a while so thanks for that. Plus blacksand sounds great too.

I was hoping Blue is the Warmest Color was a watercolor comic so I'd have an excuse to read it for that challenge but maybe some other time ...

When I discovered that Panels had it's own Read Harder Challenge I'd already read Beauty, which was also originally French. I don't like the conceit of that every man who sees a beautiful woman would want to basically rape her, but it's a really clever original fairytale with beautiful art.

As my mother tongue is German, I read The Sandman, Vol. 10: The Wake for this task :)

Oh man - their other recent work, Beautiful Darkness destroyed me last year, and I still pause every time I see it on the library shelf. Haunting!

I read Aya for this challenge, and then ended up reading the rest of the series. It's about life in 1970's Ivory Coast. It was fun.
