One Euro comic from Spain, keep a good level of popularity over the years, "Mortadelo y Filemon". It even got a live-action adaptaion who was far better then the last Airbender one as well as a 3d animated movie.

It strikes me that this is the same strategy that the manga industry follows, and is part responsible for its success. Printing cheap books and selling them at gas stations and convenience stores. It bugs me that this isn't more common.
I read Gaston years ago. Also good stuff.
I have seen those Natacha comics but have yet to give them a try.
I'm gonna go for a hard disagreement here and say that I absolutely do NOT like those two.One Euro comic from Spain, keep a good level of popularity over the years, "Mortadelo y Filemon".

I have actually read almost the entire series and if I'm not mistaken the whole series seems like slapstick jokes.

Is there any database for Euro comics, sort of like MyAnimeList for anime and manga?

they arent cheap, but they are good and you can get them everywhere.
they are cheap as hell used but most people just boy the reprints at the gas station or in the supermarket.
also the dune book came in the mail and it was superb. not as good as some other scifi books but brilliant for current year...

https://comicvine.gamespot.com/ is my first stop. I've also used https://www.comicsbox.it/ when I need info on a particular italian series.

I have the three first albums but honestly only enjoyed arctic nation.
I’d say they are pretty cheap though.
readcomiconline has some

This sounds like Area 88. I will have to check it out.

Yeah. Readcomiconline has a fair range. It's how I've read a lot of bd's. You will have to create your own lists of what you want though. Wikipedia has helped a lot there.

of course the time I hardly check the multimedia section this thread pops up...
have to confess, while growing up with a lot of them, tintin never really did it for me, I was more of a spirou guy (the old runs). wonder if anyone read the newer ones and what they think of it I basically dropped it after the 50th album because it was some borderline TLJ horseshit with alternate timelines and characters behaving nothing like their old versions, maybe it was some kind of elaborate fuck you buy the authors before getting replaced.
if that's your thing, there's also franka. it's dutch so feels a bit different imo and the stories are a bit more fantastic.
there's also yoko tsuno, one of my favorites but as much as I like and respect was leloup has created, he maybe wants to look for someone to take over or work with him, since the stories get more and more convoluted and the ensemble bigger than a capeshit crossover.
I think it's more common than the other way around, from the top of my head can't even think about where characters age over time. usually it's just conveniently ignored, which does give it a bit of a timeless effect (unless it's pretty obvious like XIII, but then where intricate drawings of technology are part of the series it wouldn't be the same).
not a database, but if I want to see what's new and stuff I check the splitter (niche) and carlsen (more mainstream) homepages every once in a while. it's german, but it should be easy to look up the author in question and go from there. works for me since I usually go by art and genre first anyway. and fuck, just checking those pages for the links reminded me to finish okko at some point....

depends when and which speed they process the order. never tried it myself, but most shops etc should give you an estimate, then just compare it (plus with corona times on the website aren't necessarily correct).

Sorry for the late reply, but I saw this video with English subtitles about Benjamin Bénéteau, the current guy who design Michel Vaillant.

There's an Franco-Belgian comic named "S.O.S. Bonheur" who was translated in English under the title of "Authorized Happiness" penned and inked by a guy nicknamed Griffo under the texts of Jean Van Hamme who also scenarist of other Franco-Belgian comics like XIII, Largo Winch, Thorgal and Wayne Shelton. There's a good critic of it at https://womenwriteaboutcomics.com/2019/04/authorised-happiness-volume-2-a-dystopian-nightmare/
One image show where the guys talk of the "Universal Card" and there's some eerie similarities with the covid passport....
