The power of comics

Comics have long since developed from a ridiculed medium to a recognized cultural asset. A look at the new exhibition "Nice to get to know me. Comic and autobiography" in the German Book and Writing Museum impressively shows the creative potential of comics, which combine current topics and personal stories. The exhibition presents seven talented comic artists from the Netherlands and Flanders who address biographical narratives with social challenges such as burnout, climate crisis or interpersonal relationships. With their artistic expression, they invite the audience to think about their own experiences and become creative themselves. The exhibition is part of the guest country concept of the Leipzig Book Fair 2024 and opens the door to a rich comic storytelling tradition, as exemplified by the German National Library highlighted.

Be there when a whole universe of comics unfolds in Vienna and discover the deeper meaning of this art form in Leipzig! Whether for collectors or the curious - here you will find everything your heart desires and much more!
