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 . French webcomics were primarily published on personal blogs , as artists tell stories of their daily lives by putting them in images . For a long time , the blog BD primarily served as a resume for cartoonists . In the mid 2000s , blog BDs started to attract larger and more loyal readerships . In 2008 , the " Révélation Blog " prize was established at the Angoulême International Comics Festival , which awards popular blog BD with publishing deals
