Educational and Social Impact

Golden Age BD played significant educational roles. Historical series introduced young readers to national heritage. Science-focused series like "Les Aventures de Buck Danny" taught aviation principles. Geography, natural history, and social customs entered young minds through adventure narratives.

BD also reflected and shaped social values. While often reinforcing conservative norms, series increasingly questioned authority and celebrated nonconformity. Characters like Gaston Lagaffe suggested alternative relationships to work and productivity. Strong female characters, while still rare, began appearing more frequently.
