The Brussels' Comic Book Route (or also ''The comic strip route in Brussels'') is a path composed by several comic strip murals which deck the walls of several buildings throughout the inner City of Brussels as well as the neighborhoods of Laeken and Auderghem. The large comic strip murals show motifs of the most famous and popular Belgian comics, for instance ''The Adventures of Tintin'', ''Lucky Luke'', ''Gaston'', ''Marsupilami'' and ''Gil Jourdan''. The project began in 1991 by initiative of the local authorities of the city of Brussels in collaboration with the Belgian Comic Strip Center. At its beginning, the project only intended to embellish empty walls and gables of buildings in the city. It then became an opportunity to remember that many well-known comic artists around the world were linked to Belgium's capital, which also claims to be the capital of フランス語:bande dessinée, or "comic strip". Today, the Brussels' Comic Book Route offers more than 50 mural paintings, most of them located inside the Pentagon (as the city center is often called due to its geometrical shape). Following its trail, the Comic Book Route is a good way to discover the capital and even penetrate some neighborhoods less crowded by tourists. The Brussels tourist association ''Pro Velo'' organizes a 2-hour bike tour starting at the ''Bicycle Riders House'' フランス語:(''Maison des cyclists''). ''Broussaille'' was the first comic book wall to be painted, based on an original project of the Belgian comic book artist Frank Pé. With its surface of about , the mural painting was inaugurated in July 1991 at the intersection between the central streets フランス語:''Marché au Charbon'' and フランス語:''Teinturiers''. As with most of the mural paintings, the Belgian association «Art Mural» was in charge of the execution of the fresco painting. «Art Mural» is an association created by five artists in 1984, mainly aimed to realize mural painting in public areas. Since 1993 it has been devoted to the creation and realization of new murals for the Brussels' Comic Book Route, with a rhythm of two to three new works per year. Georgios Oreopoulos and David Vandegeerde are the only two remaining founder members of the association who have been always involved in all the projects and mural paintings, helped with a large number of other artists who have collaborated and worked together with them. == List of comic strip mural paintings == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brussels' Comic Book Route」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
