Quiz: Who are the ten classic characters just about to appear?
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
To late to have a go, as most of my guesses were already entered.
But commenting to say this is an enjoyable format, so keep them coming!
This is hard, I either did not read those series or I read them like twenty-thirty years ago! All I can guess is Nr 2 might be the Professor, Nr 8 one of the Daltons and Nr 10 maybe Pirlouit\Peewit\Pfiffikus because there is his goat in the last panel.
Nr 8 one of the Daltons
The Daltons have already been established at that point, so the new character is someone they're about to meet. Astrid might not like them.
Nr 10 maybe Pirlouit\Peewit\Pfiffikus because there is his goat in the last panel.
Yes, nice, it's from the Johan & Peewit series!
Pfew, hard one
- No clue
- Bianca castafiore
- Could be so many characters, no idea :)
- Never read it
- Kriss van Valnor? No idea for the remaining ones.
My European comic knowledge is very limited :) Should have more Jommeke, Kiekeboe and Suske and Wiske! ;)
Two & five are correct! Very nice guessing Kriss, as that was one of the hardest ones IMO.
Should have more Jommeke, Kiekeboe and Suske and Wiske!
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..
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 CourI missed the part about these being the first appearance of a character. So it's not Guillaume de la CourI'll give you a couple hints:
-
It's one of the ~four core characters of the series.
-
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.
