American B.D.

From 1985 to 1986, Mon Journal’s American B.D. offered a six-issue, anthology-style exploration of American comics through a European lens, blending the talents of writers like Alan Zelenetz, Ron Harris, and Chris Claremont with the lush, atmospheric art of Ron Harris, John Bolton, and Chris Warner. This short-lived series stands as a curious cultural exchange, pairing Claremont’s signature dramatic flair with Bolton’s painterly style, while Harris and Zelenetz contributed a mix of genre stories that bridged transatlantic sensibilities. Though brief, it remains a fascinating artifact of mid-80s publishing, showcasing how American and European comic traditions briefly intertwined.
