Belgium, a country
known for cartoons, illustrations and comic strips
Our artists come from Belgium,
which achieved a strong reputation for illustrations, comic
strips, cartoons. Many characters like Tintin, Spirou, Boule et
Bill, Michel Vaillant, Lucky Luke, Blake and Mortimer, Bob &
Bobette were designed there. Many publishers like Editions Dupuis,
Editions Casterman, started in Belgium. Authors like Hergé,
Roba, Peyo, Franquin, Edgard P.Jacobs, Graton, Morris, Geluck have
had a tremendous success. The production is extremely
active: the country counts around 700 creators, and several art
schools are focusing on what is now called " the 9th art" .
In Brussels, the "Centre Belge de la bande dessinée",
is a museum dedicated to this artistic creation, situated in a "Art
Deco" building. In several places around Brussels, walls are
decorated with large cartoons.
