Franco Belgian Comics

By Douglas · Nov 06, 2026

Some more Mœbius. Mœbius’s comics are considered Franco-Belgian, which covers France and the southern, French-speaking part of Belgium, Wallonia. (The northern region of Belgium is called Flanders, where they speak Dutch.) The Franco-Belgian comics are by far the most popular in Europe: Tintin, Asterix, Lucky Luke, Gaston, The Smurfs, Spirou, et cetera, they all belong to that genre.
