I had an idea yesterday, so let’s see how you like it. Below are sequences from ten classic BD series in which a well-known character is about to first appear. How many can you guess? (hint: these appear alphabetically by character name)
1. 
2. 
3. 
4. 
5. 
6. 
7. 
8. 
9. 
10. 
EDIT: And here are the answers: https://lemm.ee/post/33519501
Two & five are correct! Very nice guessing Kriss, as that was one of the hardest ones IMO.
I can definitely do the latter at some point, but of the first two, I suspect they aren’t well-known outside Belge. Feel free to post about them here sometime to help people get a taste…
Oh, 8 must be the brothers dalton?
The art style of 10 reminds me of Johan and Peewit, but I’m probably wrong. Don’t know the comic enough to remember individual characters. Also looks a bit like Smurfs. Basically Peyo artstyle :)
Very good. Now who did they meet there?
Absolutely correct. The first appearance of the Smurfs was in J&P, and they were disguised as we see above. (notice the blue foot and hand sticking out)
Also, going through my own comics, The asterix one (3) is ofcourse Idefix! Forgot he didn’t appear right from the start. Haven’t read them in ages!
That’s where my guesses end. I have not read any of the other comics. I did found out that Wake is from the first panel. Looks cool, will check it out.
Yes. RanTanPlan, excellent.
Sillage (Wake) is the best sci-fi series I’ve ever read in BD. I’ll have to turn the spotlight towards that one soon!
