History Broadway Comics debuted with the preview comic ''Powers That Be'', followed by the series ''Star Seed'', ''Fatale'', and ''Shadow State''.

Doom Patrol

Brussels' Comic Book Route
Brussels' Comic Book Route (or ''The comic strip route in Brussels'') is a path composed by several comic strip murals, which cover 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 depict scenes from various popular Belgian comics, for instance ''The Adventures of Tintin'', ''The Smurfs'', ''Lucky Luke'', ''Gaston'', ''Marsupilami'' and ''Gil Jourdan''. 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. Initially, the project only intended to embellish empty walls and gables of buildings in the city. It then became an opportunity to celebrate the rich comic book heritage of Brussels, which claims to be the capital of the "comic strip". Today, the Brussels' Comic Book Route offers more than 50 mural paintings, most of them located inside the ''Pentagon'' (as the city centre is often ca ...
