Comics : European Comics

European comics were originally inspired from American comic books but quickly evolved into their own genres, and visual styles such as Belgium's Ligne claire. Today, the main European comic book market is in France, which publishes works by most European creators. Although most European comic books, known as bandes dessinées, are published in French, many are making their way to North America.
