Created on Monday, 23 May 2016
Angouleme International Comics Festival will be held 30 Jan to 02 Feb 2020 in Angouleme, France. Angouleme International Comics Festival is the second largest comics festival in Europe after Lucca Comics & Games, and the third biggest in the world after Lucca Comics & Games and the Comiket. Every year since 1974, the four-day International Comic Strip Festival has been celebrating the 'Ninth Art', which has long held a special place in French culture. In the last years, comic book artists, writers and aficionados have made the annual pilgrimage to the French city of Angoulême for its internationally-renowned comic book festival. Hundreds of thousands comics lovers gather in the south-western city to celebrate the art and award groundbreaking work that’s been done in the preceding months. Its success has since cemented the city’s place as the home of comic strip and manga appreciation. The International Comic Strip Festival is now a key event for professionals and the general public alike. The festival includes a programme of exhibitions, signings and performances in honour of one of the most dynamic and creative forms of expression around today. Angouleme International Comics Festival is an event and I like events...
