Can somebody fluent in french give me some more information on these. My french is basic but enough to get the basic idea of the story, and the quality is good. But they seem to be exerpts from somewhere else and not always complete. Translation, "Selections of the Bold Guys.' ? Can someone enlighten me? Search for 'Les Selections Hardi les Gars' and there are 36 albums out there. Incidentally, here is a French site with 16000 pages on comics. http://www.dlgdl.com
Cheers.

Title translates as, "Bold Guys", I suppose.
Doc Mars site has this page on the comic:-
http://bdvintagerares.blogspot.com/2018/03/hardi-les-gars-n47-53-54.html
The translate button helps a bit.
It is like many British and Euro comics in containing serials, running from 2 or 3 pages per issue to 10 or so.
Lots of good stuff in this one and others.
Follow the "buttons" on your posted link and there is lots of info. on landscape complete stories. Small formats, full size comics, etc.

The strips credited to "W. Molineaux" are reprints from 1930s Italian weeklies. Molineaux is a Frenchification of illustrator Walter Molino. The mad scientist series (Virus) comes from L'Audace (Mondadori, 1939). Script by Federico Pedrocchi, art by Molino. I don't recognize all of these strips, but several have the look of Mondadori's pre-WWII output.

More on the title. Had a ponder and I'm certain now it translates as, "Go to it, lads/ guys/ boys"  Take your pick of the nouns.
Or, "Come on, you guys".
As an aside, a number of the Italian and French papers from pre-war (1939, that is) reprinted text stories from British storypapers, and without checking, I think they came from both DCT and AP titles.
