French Webcomics
Webcomics in France are usually referred to as either blog BD (comic strip blogs) or BD numérique (digital comic strips). Early webcomics in the late 1990s and early 2000s primarily took on the form of personal blogs, where amateur artists told stories through their drawings. The medium rose in popularity in economic viability in the country in the late 2000s and early 2010s. The Turbomedia format, where a webcomic is presented more alike a slideshow, was popularized in France in the early 2010s. History The distribution of digital comics (BD numérique) in France dates back to 1997, when "interactive comics", a hybrid of video games and animation, were circulated on CD-ROMs. Comic blogs (blog BD) started to appear on the World Wide Web as it gained traction in the late 1990s and early 2000s, generally offering strips and short stories.

Motion Comic
A motion comic (or animated comic) is a form of animation combining elements of print comic books and animation. Individual panels are expanded into a full shot while sound effects, voice acting, music, and animation are added to the original artwork. Text boxes, speech bubbles and the onomatopoeia are typically removed to feature more of the original artwork being animated. Motion comics are often released as short serials covering a story arc of a long running series or animating a single release of a graphic novel. Single release issues of a story arc are converted into ten- to twenty-minute-long episodes depending on content. History The concept was fully outlined in the mid-1960s by science fiction author Philip K. Dick in his novel '' The Zap Gun'', an expansion of his novella ''Project Plowshare'', which was written in 1964 and first published as a serial in the November 1965 and January 1966 issues of ''Worlds of Tomorrow'' magazine. In Dick's novel, weapons designers of t ...

Slide Show
A slide show, or slideshow, is a presentation of a series of still images ( slides) on a projection screen or electronic display device, typically in a prearranged sequence. The changes may be automatic and at regular intervals or they may be manually controlled by a presenter or the viewer. Slide shows originally consisted of a series of individual photographic slides projected onto a screen with a slide projector, as opposed to the video or computer-based visual equivalent, in which the slides are not individual physical objects. A slide show may be a presentation of images purely for their own visual interest or artistic value, sometimes unaccompanied by description or text, or it may be used to clarify or reinforce information, ideas, comments, solutions or suggestions which are presented verbally. Slide shows are sometimes still conducted by a presenter using an apparatus such as a carousel slide projector or an overhead projector, but now the use of an electronic vide ...

Subtitled ''"The Magazine for the Youth from 7 to 77"'', it was one of the major publications of the Franco-Belgian comics scene and published such notable series as ''Blake and Mortimer'', ''Alix'', and the principal title ''The Adventures of Tintin''. Originally published by Le Lombard, the first issue was released in 1946, and it ceased publication in 1993. ''Tintin'' magazine was part of an elaborate publishing scheme.

There were several ongoing stories at any given time, giving wide exposure to lesser-known artists. ''Tintin'' was also available bound as a hardcover or softcover collection. The content always included filler material, some of which was of considerable intere ...
