33 Exhibitions
Festival in Linz: In the colorful world of comics
Comics in all forms - analog and digital, serious and funny - are the focus of the nextcomic festival in Linz, Steyr and Traun from March 21 to 28. There will be 33 exhibitions, all free of charge, with a major show dedicated to the exceptional footballer Helmut Köglberger, as we reported. The traditional highlight of the festival is "Suuuper Saturday" - where you can look over the shoulders of illustrators.
"Today's comics and graphic novels are not about superheroes, but the genre has fully arrived in art," enthuses Gottfried Gusenbauer, Director of the Caricature Museum Krems and curator of nextcomic. And the drawn stories are a mirror of our present, because they are "about current problems and also solutions."
The nextcomic festival, which opens on Friday, March 21, at 7 pm at the Ursulinenhof in Linz, offers numerous exhibitions and events. The Ursulinenhof will also be the venue for "Suuuper Saturday" on March 22: from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., you can look over the shoulders of comic artists, there will be lectures, writing workshops and guided tours.
Not just on paper
