Early October, during the first weekend to be exact, me and my supergirl Lida attended the 19th Polish annual comics festival in Lodz.
The place was such a beauty. We took long walks around the city every chance we had. Beautiful old buildings and statues all around. You could see banners, posters, and all sorts of displays concerning the festival everywhere.
It gave out a feeling that the whole city was involved and really appreciated the event, which is a really nice thing considering that Poland, is not really big on comics as we found out while talking with some of the organizers, and local journalists covering the event. There is a small but loyal core of readers they said, which is pretty much the case for Greece too.
There was an amazing exhibition as part of the festival held in an old cloth factory which is now reformed into this truly impressive gallery building.
This is Jean Giraud (aka Moebius), one of the guests of honor, checking out the artwork of another guest artist, which is none other than Milo Manara…
…which you can see here, doing a sketch for a fan.
