Comic Podium
Thursday, 3 to 6 June 2010
various venues

For four days, current topics of the comics market and focal points of the Salon are enlarged on in lectures and panel discussions: Chances and risks for comics on the internet, new sales practices for comics through digitalisation, the success of graphic novels, the search for material and stories as well as the collaboration between artist and scenarist that still isn’t a given in Germany, the rediscovery of newspaper strips, the education of comic artists in Germany and Japan – to name just a few of the topics. The Comic Podium is directed at a wide audience that is interested in comics, and is supple-mented by interviews with some of the most important artists and a lecture series by German Comic Research (Deutsche Comic Forschung) that deals with the topic “Comics and Politics”.
