On the occasion of the 43rd edition of the International Festival of Angoulême, we return to those comic strips that have marked us, but also those that are likely to mark history! Here are our top 10 comic books.
- Tintin
Whether one likes the adventures of the reporter without fear or reproach, Tintin and his haired acolyte have marked many generations. The little red hero of Hergé has captivated its readers during 24 albums declined since in cartoons and movies.
- Spirou
He is the most famous and courageous groom in the world. Spirou is the greatest rival of Tintin but it is also one of the pillars of French comics, as well as the best friend of Fantasio, with whom he shares beautiful adventures all over the world!
- Asterix
Who does not know this little Gallic by Toutatis? Asterix, this mustached and intrepid superhero is a sure bet for pop culture in bookstores! The Asterix series is now available, with movies and cartoons that we love to see and see!
- Thorgal
More secret than his predecessors, Thorgal is the solitary man of the North who bears the skin of an animal like no one else. Since the release of the 34th album in 2013, publishers have decided to tell the story of his family. To never return (in thoughts) of the country of the Vikings!
- XIII
A man is discovered inert on a beach. He does not remember anything, and especially not how he got that tattoo on the collarbone or who shot him! Even before he had time to say "ouf", he finds himself hounded by hired killers ... A breathless cartoon, already adapted in TV series!
- Largo Winch
Before being incarnated by the charming Tomer Sisley, Largo Winch was first a hero of novels and comics! And that's saying a lot: in total, there are 20 albums that tell the adventures of the young billionaire.
- The Smurfs
Could not cite our 10 cult comics without mentioning the Smurfs! Especially as through the different collections and spin-offs of this comic strip appeared the first time in 1958, one can only smurfed his little Blue Smurfs!
- Gaston Lagaffe
He is funny in spite of himself: Gaston Lagaffe is one of the favorite cartoon characters of the French. Unable to spend a day without causing a catastrophe, this young febrile assistant reminds us that there is always more serious than our own nonsense. Especially his!
- lucky Luke
We all like Lucky Luke: his lanky style, his way to chew his blade of grass, his dog beta and his haughty horse! In short, he would almost be the ideal man if he was not constantly pursued by a rogue band in pajamas.
- Billy and Buddy
We finish our inventory of cult cartoon with Boule & Bill! This little boy (Boule) who enjoys himself with his lazy dog (Bill) and in love with a turtle (Marguerite). It's light and cute: the recipe for success!
And you, what are your cult comics?
