What does “BDM.” in fact ? On the ActuaBD podcast, Didier Pasamonik answers this question: ” In February 1980, appeared for the first time in France a guide-argus of the comic strip with the quotations of the old comics: The BDM. Its authors? The “B” of Michel Bera, collector who left the guide’s editorial adventure in the 2000s; the “D” is Michel Denni, alias “Max”, owner of the Lutèce bookstore in Paris and the “M”: Philippe Mellot, at the time journalist and editor-in-chief of the Dargaud version of Charlie Monthly. “
