From there, it exploded into a ton of stuff from Catalan Communications (Igort, Vittorio Giardino, Bilal, Varene, several more), NBM (Schuiten, Druillet, Caza, Segrelles, more Giardino), Dark Horse (Cheval Noir, Rocco Vargas,), Humanoids (their 90's/2000s partnership with DC, with Bilal, Charland, Boucq, Jodorowsky & Best) and, now Cinebook (Valerian, Lucky Luke, Spirou & Fantasio, Blake & Mortimer, Antares, Long John Silver, XIII and much, much more).
