It's time to get your nerd on with this one because we're talking comic books. Specifically, comic books from France and Belgium.

That sounds really specific, but these books -- known as les bandes dessinées -- gained popularity in the 1930s and have only gotten more popular over the decades...even though there was a little kerfuffle during the post-World War II period.

Enjoy!
