    Also nice: The Adventures of Tintin by Belgian illustrator Hergé.

    Some of the comics are rightly criticized for racial stereotyping and a romanticized view of colonialism, but this is hardly surprising as they date back to the 1930s. On the whole, the Adventures of Tintin are nevertheless a classic of comic art.

    There are also several animated TV series. The best known is a French-Canadian co-production with 39 half-hour-episodes.

      Early Tintin was produced by a far right fascist journal, that’s why the early tintin used to be racist & pro-colonialism. Funnily enough, after the Nazi invasion of Belgium, the Nazis ordered the closing down of said journal, which forced / allowed the author to move to a different production, and make non-political comics (the political nature of the early comics were directions given by the fascist) journal

      20th century Europe huh

    The Franco-Belgian comics scene has turned out so many timeless classics.

    I was never really into DC and Marvel, except for some graphic novels like the Alan Moore books.

    Belgium really has some awesome comics! I always thought a bunch of them were Dutch, as they were written in Flanders.

    Was quite a funny moment when I figured out most of my favourites were Belgian.

    I have never liked American cartoons, apart from some underground cartoons. So I don’t have problems with that.
