de Cape et de Crocs ("Capes and Fangs") has been among my favorite ongoing graphic novel series, for the past ten years .. I highly-recommend it to anyone who is a fan of swashbuckling 'high-adventure' in the style of Hayao Miyazaki or Terry Gilliam (the main caveat being that it is not, as yet, available in an english-language edition).
Even so, I very much hope that there will be an animated adaptation of
de Cape et de Crocs, someday. Several of its action sequences 'read' like animation storyboards, as-is.

Speaking of european comics, and the topic at hand ..
My personal favorite classic 'sexy' character is
Natacha Slivovicz from François Walthéry's
Natacha: Hôtesse de l'Air .. (whose still-continuing adventures are likewise unavailable in english .. but which I'd also like to see featured in an animated version, someday).
Another more recent 'sexy' european character, whose adventures
are available in english (thanks to Marvel Comics and
Heavy Metal magazine), is
Noa, from
Sky Doll .. created by Barbara Canepa & Alessandro Barbucci. Here again, I'd love to see an animated adaptation, someday. If that happens, it would certainly give the folks in the 'serious/adult animation' threads something to cheer about.
Other european cartoon characters I'd place in this category would be
Colombe from Dany's imaginative
Olivier Rameau series; Regis Loisel's
Pelisse, the heroine from the classic
La Quête de L'Oiseau du Temps ("The Quest for the Time-Bird", which apparently
is planned to receive an animated treatment); Loisel's similarly-curvy rendition of
Tinkerbell in his own adaptation of
Peter Pan, and
Mademoiselle Chiffre, the perky arithmetic teacher in Tome & Janry's
Petit Spirou series.
My apologies for the lack of pictures for these last few; I didn't want to 'push my luck' with the mods here (it was actually somewhat difficult to find an illustration of Noa that I felt I could post here, at all).
