Brussels' Comic Book Route

The project began in 1991 as an initiative of the local authorities of the City of Brussels in collaboration with the Belgian Comic Strip Center.

[1] Nowadays, the Brussels' Comic Book Route offers more than 50 mural paintings, most of them located inside the Pentagon (as the city centre 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 neighbourhoods less crowded by tourists.

The Brussels tourist association Pro Velo [nl] organises a two-hour bike tour starting at the Bicycle Riders House (Maison des cyclistes).

[3] Georgios Oreopoulos and David Vandegeerde are the only two remaining founder members of the association, having been involved in all the projects and murals, helped with a large number of other artists who have collaborated and worked with them.
