“Once upon a time, a long time ago, a man could not read or write.

Incidentally, the words “read” and “write” did not exist. No more than any other. To express himself, to tell, to venerate, he invented the drawing”. Comics is not the result of a discovery. It is the result of an ever stronger complicity between the desire to tell and the art of drawing. It is the most literary plastic arts. In Belgium, comics have grown into a veritable institution. In most Belgian homes you will find a collection of comics or even an entire library dedicated to comic strips. More than half of the books published or produced in Belgium are comics, but the real creators of the 20th century Belgian Kingdom of the Comic Strip are its more than seven
hundred artists and scriptwriters.
