From 1990 a total of 5 Biggles Comic Albums were issued by Publisher Lefrancq Emissions, numbered 2, 7, 12, 18 and 21 in the "Collectie Avonturenstrips".

In 1995 Publisher Miklo SA started a Biggles only Comics series in French and in Dutch. By the end of 2002 17 titles were published in this series, including the five mentioned above. Apart from the real Biggles series, a couple of "Biggles vertelt over.../Biggles raconte" (Biggles tells about…) albums were included in this series. The albums in this series were numbered 1 to 15, and 17 and 18, of which titles 4, 8, 10, 12 16 were "Biggles vertelt over.../Biggles raconte" albums.
Title number 16, a fifth "Biggles vertelt over.../Biggles raconte" album was never published by Miklo, because the album was not yet finished by the time Miklo sold the series.

This album was however released by Publisher Lombard/Dargaud. This publisher took over the Biggles series in 2003 and then decided to split this series in a pure Biggles series and a "Biggles vertelt over.../Biggles raconte" series.

So from now on the following two series are being published (the Miklo series numbers are included between brackets):

Johns: L'Album du centenaire" is a special edition for the celebration of the Biggles Centenary in 1999. In this album 2 stories from Biggles - Air Detective and 1 from Comrades in Arms are included. In addition to these some articles about Captain Johns, Biggles and various Biggles series are included. This album is, as long as stocks last, still available with the I.B.A. Shop. In French, and in Dutch.
Finally, Album number 16 "Pilote de la R.A.F." is an omnibus edition of albums 3, 4 and 6 from the Miklo series. This album is completely sold out.

Publisher Miklo is still publishing two other series, namely: "Biggles présente" and "Biggles héritage" in which, respectively, aviation art and older existing Biggles' serialised Comics are being published collected for the first time. Both series come out in French and in Dutch.

As of number 6 the French "Biggles présente" series differs from the Dutch "Biggles presenteert..." because number 6 of the French series, Mes Avions de Papier (by Francis Bergèse) was only published in French. Apart from the "Biggles présente" series there is, only in French, another series, namely the "Biggles présente HS" series. The titles in this series are hardbacks with a dust wrapper and are of larger size.
As from part 11, the series is labelled "Airflies" instead of "Biggles présente". Parts 8 and 10 will still be published as part of the "Biggles présente" series.
