Franco-Belgian comics
Franco-Belgian comics, together with American and British comic books and Japanese manga, are one of the three main markets. The term is broad, and can be applied to all comics made by French and Belgian comics authors, all comics originally published by French and Belgian comics publishers, or all comics in the styles appearing in the Franco-Belgian comics magazines "Tintin" and "Spirou", possibly expanded to include later magazines like "Pilote", "Métal Hurlant", and "A Suivre". Comics which are not created in French but in Dutch are sometimes included and sometimes excluded from the Franco-Belgian comics.
