From 1990 onwards, the Belgian publisher Lefrancq Emissions published a series of Biggles graphic novels in French written and drawn by Francis Bergèse. Later titles were written by Michel Oleffe with artwork by Éric Loutte, Daniel Chauvin or Frank Leclercq. Miklo later took over the series, adding new titles in the same style and republishing the old ones. The titles appeared in French. Translations appeared in Dutch, German and English (Redfox - some titles only). Euro Books, based in India, also reprinted a series of 14 translations in English.

Some of the earlier titles were loosely based on the Johns novels while later ones were original and non-canonical. Interspersed among the Biggles graphic novels were non-fiction graphic books under the heading of "Biggles Raconte". Biggles does not, however, appear in the content of these books except as a "narrator" of the historical accounts. Since Lefrancq and Miklo kept these in the same numbered sequence as their graphic novels, it is best to treat them together.

From 2003, a third publisher, Lombard, took over the series with three of their own titles as well as reprints of the Lefrancq/Miklo ones, though not in the same numbered sequence.
