Comic Book Route in Brussels turns 30

Description

Brussels, May 8 (EFE).- (Camera: Leo Rodriguez) Belgium, along with France, is a historical hub of comic book production in Europe and this cultural trademark is reflected in its capital city in the form of large murals dedicated to some of its most famous fictional exports like Tintin, the Smurfs and Lucky Luke. FOOTAGE OF THE COMIC BOOK ROUTE IN BRUSSELS.SOUNDBITES OF ARNAUD PINXTEREN, COUNCILOR OF URBAN RENOVATION.Translation:"(The comic book frescoes) form itineraries throughout the city centre, in the historic centre, but also outside of it, which allow you to discover not only Belgian culture, which is the culture of comics, but also a whole series of neighbourhoods that are sometimes less frequented by tourists, but that allow you to discover the lesser-known Brussels." "The city of Brussels is quite large, so we try to get out of the historical centre to make sure that comics are everywhere and not just on traditional tourist paths. In Haren, for example, in this somewhat decentralized area, we made a double mural of Yasmina, who is a female heroine. We need to feminize comic characters." "It is really this desire to renew the city, to propose and revitalize the neighbourhoods, which gradually led to the installation of this comic book route."
