"Eurocomics" don't exist. There is no "European" comic industry.There is just francophone comics made in only two French-speaking countries since late XIXth century: France and Belgium.Other countries in the European continent have at best one single comic series popular enough to stand out:>Italy: Corto Maltese>Spain: Mortadelo y Filemon>Finland: Moomin>Switzerland: Titeuf (also francophone)That's all. There is nothing substantial to lump these series together in a single category. No common style, theme or genre despite what Mutts may believe in their desesperate attempt to see Europe as a single country.Mafalda and Batman aren't called "Panamerican" comics.Franco-Belgian comics have two major easily recognisable styles spreading over thousand series: Ligne claire and Marcinelle school.They reference francophone culture, pop-culture, events and customs. They express a specifically French-speaking worldview.Their plotwriting is directly inspired by French popular cinema and novels.That's why Franco-Belgian comic industry climbs to the same podium as United-States and Japan.It's time to call them by their real name: BD(Bande Dessinée)

>>150433319That's a lot of very confident talk about a topic you know absolutely nothing about. As expected of /co/.
>>150433319Well done, you've got one of the two elements to create a long-running /co/ thread, a rage-baiting false premise. I suggest next time however, you also include a lust-provoking image, perhaps something from Les Filles de Soleil next time?
>It’s another Euromutt starts raging over Americhads randomly in the middle of an unrelated topic postKek these meltys are always funny
>>150433319>two major easily recognisable styles spreading over thousand series: Ligne claire and Marcinelle school.The good news is you have 30 years of french comic history to catch up on, to discover just how both us comic fans, disney artists and weebs have expander the available range of styles beyond those two, which even then were an oversimplification
>>150433319I hate to admit it, but you're right, the only exception I would make are Italian Disney comics, but should they even count considering how they're based on an American IP?There's a reason that so many Spanish comic book artists work for foreign publishers.
>>150433319Nah
>>150433319>There is nothing substantial to lump these series together in a single category.

What america has with capeshit, we have with Disney comics. Europe by far makes the most and sells the most Disney comics. It's probably as big if not bigger than the capeshit comic industry.And I could probably name like half dozen swedish comics just from the top of my head and I'm not even swedish (Bobo, Goliat, Olli, Bamse, Nils Holgersson, original Phantom comics).
>>150435325>It's probably as big if not bigger than the capeshit comic industry.Doubtful.
