In the French-speaking world, comics are not merely seen as entertainment for children; they are revered as the "Ninth Art." This is the prestigious realm of Bande Dessinée books, a tradition of visual literature that rivals cinema and painting in its artistic ambition. Unlike the monthly superhero floppies of the US or the digest-sized manga of Japan, French graphic novels (or BDs) are typically presented in large, hardcover album formats that showcase intricate, high-quality artwork. From the clear-line style of Tintin and Asterix to the dark, philosophical science fiction of Moebius, Franco-Belgian comics offer a diversity of storytelling that is sophisticated, witty, and visually breathtaking. These comic albums are cultural pillars in Europe, covering genres from historical fiction to surrealist fantasy.
