Well as I went offtopic in the thread of the rise of the superheroine I write about European comic here.
As I said, is a genre that I don't like. I've not found any story from European comic that has attracted me enough.
I have to say, that in difference to American or Japanese comic (manga), the European comic is realist, basically. There are no characters with superpowers or anything similar.
As I said, the most known titles are the ones coming from the biggest industry of comic in Europe, the Belgian. And those would be Asterix, Tintin and Lucky Luke. Also Spirou is another title that is known but not as much as the previous.
As you see, except for Asterix that has some magical ingredients, the rest are very realist.
In conclusion, basically for what I know, the European comic is focused in two styles, humoristic and realistic that would lead to black novel style comics.
Of the black novel style comics I am going to mention two (that I previously mentioned in the previous thread)
- Blacksad: The antropomorphic detective cat. Here you can see an example of its drawing (fully colorized)

- XIII: Is the other title that I only know for the game of 2003. I played it very little. So I don't know almost anything. But also, the main character is obviously a guy.
Now I am going to mention some Spanish comics.
Humoristic:
- Mortadelo y Filemon: With funny references like TIA, that is a secret agency that they are very clumsy.
- 13 Rue del Percebe. Those were comics of normally one page published weekly or monthly. It was something that happened in a building

- Superlópez (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superl%C3%B3pez): A parody of Superman
- Zipi y Zape (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zipi_y_Zape): Short stories of the disasters that do two teen twins.
Well, it is what I have for now. :)
