List of Franco-Belgian comic series

Franco-Belgian comics are one of the main groups of comics, together with the American and British comic books and the Japanese manga. 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 of the Belgian magazines "Tintin" and "Spirou", possibly expanded to include later French magazines like "Pilote", "Métal Hurlant" and the Belgian "A Suivre". Comics which are not created in French but in Dutch are sometimes included and sometimes excluded from the Franco-Belgian comics. For this list, a broad definition is taken, including all notable comics series first published by a French or Belgian publisher, no matter what language or nationality the authors have. For series with many different authors (e.g. "Spirou and Fantasio"), only the most important authors have been included.
