Normally I would add some anecdote with each post, but at least it will give me a reason to repost the comic in a few months.

7 is a series where a different writer and artist do a one shot with 7 main characters.
The main flaw is that you often have useless characters just to fill the slots, and the "recruitment" takes 1/3 the book.
Here we got 7 balanced characters introduced in 3 pages.

One quick question
What is good free font for translating comics, i got one comic that looks a little like Comic Sans but Comic Sans looks bad in comparison.
The seven series are a good run but i haven't read them all, only seven thieves and seven pirates.

>>90307870
thank you for the storytime anon, I enjoyed it greatly!

That was 7 missionaries, a comic book one-shoot by Alain Ayroles and Luigi Critone.

I hope you enjoyed it.
Thanks to team Dragonz,JJ and Data9724 for the scanlation.

I'll let you pick the moral of the story:
Every virtue can be a drawback and vice versa depending on the situation
God is lazy and makes his miracles with playing with probablilities instead of heavenly pyrotechnics
Religion will completely fuck up a functioning society

Some making ofs, interview and additional material (in french, but lots of pretty pics)
http://www.editions-delcourt.fr/special/7missionnaires/

I also encourage french anons to buy it, if only because watercolors translate poorly when scanned, so you're missing something without the physical version.

>>90307882
blambot dot com has many free fonts available for comic creators. You can probably find a good 'comicbook' font there, one that looks better than Comic Sans.

If you really want to dig, you could probably find different fonts to use depending on the type of comic you want to letter.

>>90307925
Thanks, anon, I also enjoyed that.
Is it just a coincidence that you chose to storytime that just before Lent?

Seconding the Nikopol Trilogy. Though the actual story makes little sense, it's more about a certain mood. Among Enki Bilal's other works, you can also add the Monster Tetralogy, which is very similar, and also The Hunting Party and the Black Order Brigades, which are great personal stories about the fallout of 20th century ideologies. He also did a bunch of short scifi stories with Pierre Christin which are usually amusingly weird.

I'd add Blast too. I'm usually not a fan of Larcenet but that story got me good.

De Cape et de Crocs also has good art and is a lot of fun, though I'm not sure if a translation would be as enjoyable considering all the fucking jokes and references to classic litterature.

Anything by Chaboute has great art and a cool, dark mood, though the stories are a bit too preachy/moralizing for my taste.

Religion is only an outlet. Even without it, people will still latch on to some other institution and do shitty things in its name.

Thanks OP, enjoyed that

Bamp for good storytime.
