Thanks so much! My kid needs to learn French (Montreal) but the way they teach it here is awful and I'm afraid turning her off the language. The only thing she really liked so far was a bande dessinée called "Lou". I'll give these others a try before the education system turns her off la belle langue forever
Depending on their ages and tastes here are a few of my favorites :
- Manu Larcenet : has many great series suitable for kids. If you want to check one a bit more for adults I recommend "Blast" which is pretty much my favorite comic ever.
- Lewis Trondheim has a great series around his character "Lapinot" (his Donjon series is amazing too ; be careful one or two of the albums can be a bit scary if the kid is too young, for instance I remember a scene of rape, not visual but it is clear what happens ; but a good chunk of the series is light-hearted especially potron-minet and parade)
- Joan Sfar : actually co-author of Donjon but has entire work of his own, quite introspective with his jewish culture
If you would like to teach with songs I also recommend Renaud (the albums from the 80s, not the recent ones), Brel, Iam (french 90s rap group but a lot of the lyrics are non-violent ; their most famous piece is about star wars actually).
Great recommendations, my favorite bd serie is Ralph Azham[1] from Lewis Trondheim. It’s great for readers of all ages.
Boulet[2] is also a nice writer with the same kind of humor as the ones suggested here.
For teenagers there’s also a lot of good sagas published by Soleil[3] especially during the 90-00.
