I read that it’s a good way to improve reading French language. I already speak French quite well – but would like something a bit more contemporary and modern. I don’t want the traditional Asterix or Tin-Tin.
I am over 40 and would like anything that includes current affairs, daily life, satire, humour and a fair bit of slang.
Maybe Charlie Hebdo, L’Écho des savanes and Fluide glacial. They have been following the serious BD trends since the 1970′s, and I learned a lot of French with them.
