History and existence

After the facade advertising was removed from downtown Brussels at the beginning of the 1990s, it became clear that some of the house facades underneath were in great need of renovation. This was the occasion for the first comic wall in the Rue du Marché au Charbon ( Broussaille , Frank Pé . July 1991). Initially, a few more house facades were dedicated to Brussels draftsmen, later also to others from Belgium and today also to draftsmen from abroad. Some examples of the current inventory are Tintin ( Tintin ) in the Rue de l'Etuve, Astérix & Obélix in the Rue de la Buanderie, Lucky Luke (Rue de la Buanderie), Spirou (Rue Notre-Dame de Grâces), Gaston Lagaffe (Rue de l'Ecuyer), LGBT by Ralf König (Rue de la Chaufferette) and Le roi des mouches by Mezzo (Rue Stiernet). The inventory of the comic strip route is being expanded and redesigned to this day.
