In France, comic strips have long been perceived - including by
``Specialists'' - as an almost exclusively Franco-Belgian and
American form of cultural output. Today, however, the comic strip
market essentially revolves around traditions of three different
origins: Franco-Belgian comic strips, American comics and Japanese
manga. But the enormous popularity of manga among today's readers
should not obscure the fact that historically, comics have evolved very
differently in the three cultural areas in question, especially in
terms of economic publishing models and target readerships. Bringing a
fresh perspective to bear on these specificities, this article shows
how manga, in just twenty years, have come to compete irresistibly with
Franco-Belgian and American comics.
