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.

    Donjon mentioned ! I had no idea this comic was even known outside of french speaking communities. I don’t remember who appears there though. My first guess is Guillaume de la Cour I missed the part about these being the first appearance of a character. So it’s not Guillaume de la Cour

      I’ll give you a couple hints:

      1. It’s one of the ~four core characters of the series.

      2. At the time he’s just a low-level type, working for the keeper. And we already know he’s not Marvin the dragon.

        That’s gotta be Herbert then. Which fits because I think this excerpt might be from issue #1 of the Zenith series. But technically, in the universe’s chronology he does appear once before that moment (in the Monsters issue about Jean-Jean I think)… But it was also released after/during the Zenith run in the real world iirc.

          Herbert of Craftiwich, yes!
          Okay, thanks for the note about Monstres. I may have missed or forgotten his appearance there.

            It’s basically a cameo, he appears for like 3 panels at most. The group knocks at the dungeon’s door and he’s the one who greets them.
