Some French bande dessiné fun

When I die, bury me at a FNAC, or the Virgin store on the Champs-Élysées.
I adore bookshops, I always have. Give me a FRENCH bookshop, with a normally huge BD and manga section (Plus Saint Seiya toys galore), and I can happily wander for hours, and hours and hours, browsing, leafing and buying probably more than I can afford.
On my most recent trip I came across this, and something about the style just appealed to be me immensely. There's a sort of "classic Disney" meets "Iron Giant" meets "Ben 10" meets "Creature Workshop" feel to it, but with it's own delightful spin.
So, and following arilou_skiff's request for Frano-Belgian stuff, may I present D-P Filippi and J Etienne's "Gargouilles".
