      A more recent Europearan furry comic to have appeared is La Guilde (The Guild), by Miroslav Dragan and Oscar Martin from Belgium. So far there have been two issues, Astraban (2006) and Lucius (2008).

      The main character is Astraban, a young wolf (with a somewhat large nose) who’s just graduated as an alchemist. After he saves a woman being attacked on the street, he finds himself pulled into a local criminal organization. The group is so eager to have him on their side that they go as far as arranging a mock funeral for him, and murdering his family to leave him vulnerable and without ties. At the end of the first issue, he helps his new boss defeat a rival, but by the end of issue two, he’s screwed up big-time. Forced to live on the streets, he earns money by using his alchemical skills to dope a local sports team. After which he’s arrested and sentenced to jail by his former employers. So while the artwork in this comic is cartoony and Disneyesque, the plot definitely isn’t.

      Although I’ve enjoyed the story, I’ve had a hard time feeling sympathy for Astraban. Despite being in a situation way over his head, he’s rather naïve, immature and lets his emotions overpower his common sense in situations where he really should know better. Still, I await the next issue to see how he manages. If you don’t mind it being in French, and if you like buying anthropomorphic comics and want to add some international flair to your collection, you might want to pick up a copy of this.
