Calling French comic art collectors 0

[JadeGiant]

Any French collectors out there familiar with Soleil? What stories do you collect art from?

Thanks!

I didn't buy any published art from Soleil series yet, but I read some of the series they publish: Lanfeust, Ekhö, Trolls de Troy...
Here are some sketches I got in my Soleil books:

Lanfeust / Trolls de Troy are probably the series that sold best (with a few less interesting spin-offs). You can find original pages for €2k-4k:

Skydoll and Ekhö (Alessandro Barbucci) are also quite successful. Barbucci regularly sells sketches from Ekhö, Skydoll pages are not so easy to find (particularly if you want a page colored by Barbaba Canepa, as she only did it for the first issue and something like the 10-12 first pages of the second one. After that is was colored digitally). If you're interested I have a Skydoll page for sale.

Universal War One is a great SF series, but Bajram did very few pages manually before working digitally so it's quite difficult to find any original art for this series.

This guy has A LOT of pages from Soleil Prod (note that he collects mainly NSFW pages from adult comics), including many illustrations from "Les Filles de Soleil" (which are small illustration books published every year with sexy girls drawn by a lot of different artists, offered when you buy 3 comics).

Very helpful - thanks Nico!

I forgot Universal War One was published by Soleil. I confirm it's great.

I'd love to have a page from that series, but when I looked into buying one from the artist several years ago, it was way more than I could afford.
