I’m not much a bédé fan, but I read the “The Meta Barons” a long time ago, and found it very interesting… If a bit too violent (or sometime crude) for my tastes.

Jodo stuff is often a bit over the top with the violence and cruelty, I agree.

My favorite series is certainly the Achilles Talon series. Which, granted, have sometimes more text than images on the page.

I did not know that one before!
