Franco-Belgian comics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Belgian comic books originally written in Dutch are influenced by the francophone "Franco-Belgian" comics, but have a different feel.

Franco-Belgian comics One of the earliest proper Belgian comics was Hergés Tintin, with the story Tintin in the Land of the Soviets which was published in Le Petit Vingtième in 1930. Comics are also often published as collected albums (graphic novels), with about 40-50 pages, after the run is finished in the magazine. Except for some Belgian Flemish authors, whose comic books are written in Dutch, Belgium and France share a common language (French), which tends to make of these countries a unique market, where the notion of countries has almost faded out. www.sciencedaily.com /encyclopedia/franco_belgian_comics   (1432 words)

Comics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The precise definition of comics remains a subject of debate, with some scholars insisting that their printed nature is crucial to the definition, or that they should be defined by the interdependence of image and text. The term "comics" likely originated in early 20th century comic strips, which were originally a venue for serial and gag humor (i.e., the name came from comedy). A radical break with the traditional comic genres occurred in the late 1960s with the advent of satirical, psychedelic, and sexually explicit underground comics. www.indexlistus.de /keyword/Comic_books_and_strips.php   (624 words)

The Comics Reporter We had the most fascinating dinner with her the night before our talk, and she told tremendous stories about coming of age in the Franco-Belgian comics scene of the 1970s during the first flush of the "adult" comics movement in Europe. In June 1997 I was invited (with Mark Nevins) to Chicago to give a lecture on French comics at the Chicago Public Library in conjunction with a large exhibition of comics art.

[ID Discuss] The non-Americans I have the impression Web comics are even more relevant to IxD than Manga or Franco Belgian comics because of the fusion of design, artistic expression and Internet technologies. The material aspect which makes a Franco-Belgian BD different from a US comic is that, with but a few exceptions, it goes through a first serialized printing in a publication like Pilote or Spirou and then it is issued in a costly hardbound format. Spain, Italy and the Netherlands also produce BDs in the Franco-Belgian style, with their authors sometimes being published in Belgium, or France, in French, before an edition in their language in their own country comes out. listserver.dreamhost.com /pipermail/discuss-interactiondesigners.com/2005-January/004687.html   (395 words)

Ligne claire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In the late 1970s however it experienced a resurgence of interest, largely due to Dutch artists like Joost Swarte and Theo van den Boogaart, who had come up through the Dutch underground comics scene, as well as the French artist Jacques Tardi. Hergé started out drawing in a much looser, rougher style which was influenced partially by the great American comic strip artists of the late 1920s and 1930s.
