#BD2020 - A quick presentation of some of the most famous comics.
After World War Two, publishers launched periodicals addressed specifically to the youth. Thanks to their high frequency of release and the
rivalry they kept, it led to a climate favorable to creation, and some real artistic emulation. Today, we remember two main periodicals of
that time: Le Journal de Spirou and Le Journal de Tintin. We can also mention the magazine Pilote, that was
created a little later on by Uderzo, Goscinny and many others.
The franco-belges comics archieved major development during the 1950s and 1960s. At that time, Belgian and French authors and
illustrators worked together, and so the adjective franco-belge was used very naturally to point to the comics industry. Although
still active today, the franco-belges comics refers more to a format, as they generated more diversified and adult comics.
You can find below, randomly arranged, some of the most famous ambassadors of franco-belges comics. Which one is your favourite?
