This a list dedicated to the rich variety of Artists & Styles representing the BD & Euro-comics elite, including creators from around the globe where the vestiges of colonialism have resulted in cultural affinities that transcend the linguistic bonds - Argentina, for example, has a vital comics tradition based on Spanish-language classics, as well as Franco-Belgian & American influences... & has in turn produced an abundance of talents who have contributed to the evolving styles & storytelling of the entire comics world; but in the last two decades, we have seen a melting-pot of comic art. With the internet & Amazon making national extramuros expeditions to find the rarest of works accessible, forging current & near future BD legends emerging as this globalized community allows for an Argentian master to produce American crime comics (Eduardo Risso's 100 Bullets), Canadian Manga (Scott Pilgrim), South African Avant Garde Humor & Adventure (Joe Daly), and a Euro-comics prodigy from Brazil (Rafael Grampa).

Examples are culled from their most spectacular artistic performances, as collected by a range of Indie Publishers - like Cornelius, L'Association, the BD translations of US-based Fantagraphics - and mainstream publishing houses both historically prestigious & relatively new - such as Casterman, Dargaud, Glenat, Delcourt, & Les Humanoides Associes.
