Not online, sadly, but I'll try to provide links. Contact me if you're interested in them, I might be able to help you obtain some.
Sambre
, by Islaire. A beautiful bi-chromatic (red/black) twisted love tale intertwined in family feud and madnesss in revolutionary France. Worth it just for the gorgeous art, even if you can't read it.
Found a link to his "XXeme ciel" project.

Régis Loisel His version of "Peter Pan" is well worth a try. See also "La Quète de l'oiseau du temps".
Most of Manu Larcenet's work. The drawing is peculiar, but the writing top notch. You can see the man is a huge Desproges fan.
"Les cités obscures" by François Schuiten & Benoît Peeters. Astounding. If you got even the slightest interest for architecture, this is a MUST read. Strange tales of a parallel Europe. (Found some desktops you'll get the idea real fast from them, I guess)
Anything by René Hausman. If you can find "Les trois cheveux blancs", go ahead. One of the most beautiful destruction of fairy tale structure I've ever read. Deliciously amoral (... immoral, even). Children story writen with an axe.
"Les Lumieres de l'Amalou", by Claire Wendling and Christophe Gibelin.
"HK" by Kévin Hérault, aka Trantkat. Don't really like it, but I must cite it nonetheless as it's still one of the most famous example around of what the tentative merging of manga and traditional european comic has yet given.
Le Curé, by laurent Lacoste et Christian Metter. Be warned, some people can't stand the style. Story about a small village priest haubted by a confession. Classic in theme, but very well crafted.
I'd like to add something by Olivier Ledroit, his art is gorgeous... but he has yet to find a scenarist worth his talent.
Well that will be all for now. Back at you later if you're interested.
