A total immersion into the most beautiful comic strips thanks to around thirty publishers and an International Pavilion

  From 14 to 16 September 2018, Brussels is once again shining a spotlight on the “ninth art”. As in previous years, publishers will be getting involved by organising a number of events and surprises. And because comic strips have no borders, an international pavilion will also be opening its doors for the comic strip festival.

  Every year, the Comic Strip Festival is THE place to come for many big names in the comic strip world. Don’t miss this year’s event. From an improv competition to a special screening, via a treasure hunt, comic book fans of all ages will be able to dive into the world of some of the big names in the world of the “ninth art”.
