Do French and Belgian comics / comic artists share some relationship? (Or did you just pull that out randomly because of "Asterix & Obelix" and Tintin? :).

- simias 8y agoThere's a lot of mutual influence between French and Belgian comics. Both Pilote and Spirou Magazine featured comics from either origin for instance. They're usually considered to be the same genre (at least in France).
- m_t 8y agoFranco Belgian is a specific style. It's been a very close relationship between France and Belgium: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franco-Belgian_comics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franco-Belgian_comics
- webmobdev 8y agoThat's interesting! On a slight tangent - So did both Tintin and Asterix start out as "strip comics" leading to their popularity?
- m_t 8y agoI can't say for Astérix. For Hergé, the author of Tintin, he did start his career by doing publication in newspapers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herg%C3%A9#Totor_and_early_career:_1925%E2%80%9328 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herg%C3%A9#Totor_and_early_car... It's quite interesting to observe then all the changes that happened between the multiple publication of the same story: https://tintinomania.com/tintin-dans-ses-cases https://tintinomania.com/tintin-dans-ses-cases
