. 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 & Fantasio), only the most important authors have been included.
