In Brussels, this love for comics can be seen on the street. Many of the city walls were covered with paintings of comics created by the authors of the country, as Hergé or Morris. Brussels is probably one of the cities of the world in which the comic is more recognized. This year, for example, held a series of activities under the name of BD Comic Strip. There is also one of the genre's most important museums: the Belgian Comic Strip Center. That tradition of the genre is long and is a story that is partially shared with the French. Tintin, Spirou, Lucky Luke and the Smurfs are some of the most important characters created by Belgian authors.
