Another cartoon that is an alternative to the American ones: The Adventures of Tintin by Belgian illustrator Hergé (lemmy.world)

The Adventures of Tintin is widely regarded as a classic of comic art, but some issues are rightly criticized for racial stereotyping and a romanticized view of colonialism. This is hardly surprising, however, as the series dates back to the 1930s.

There are also several animated television series. The best known is a French-Canadian co-production with 39 half-hour episodes.

You used the wrong accent, it's Hergé.

France and Belgium have a huge comics culture, with often cross border collaborations. An illustration of this is the prestigious Angoulême comics festival https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angoul%C3%AAme_International_Comics_Festival.

For those who like SF and heard about the legendary Dune movie adaption by Jodorowsky and designed by Giraud (aka Mœbius) that never happened, but fed the next following generation of SF classics (Blade Runner, Alien, The Fifth Element), I recommend the Incal by the same two guys, based on material and concepts from the movie.

"é" corrected - thanks.

Regarding Dune: The documentary "Jodorowsky's Dune" about the production of this probably most influential movie that was never made is well worth watching.

And yes; There are a lot of great comic artists especially from France and Belgium. When it comes to sci-fi I also like Valérian and Laureline among many.
