Er waren eens... Belgen

A single-issue comic published by Le Lombard in 1980, Er waren eens... Belgen offers a concise, illustrated exploration of Belgian history and identity. This standalone album, part of the larger "Er waren eens..." series, is most associated with its straightforward, educational approach to historical storytelling. It matters as a snapshot of how a major European comics publisher packaged national heritage for a young audience in the late 20th century.
