Program

The 22nd International Festival of Comics and Games will host the winners of the Eisner Award (the most important prize in the comics world): Argentinean artist Eduardo Risso (100 Bullets, Batman, Spider-Man, Chicanos, Vampire Boy) and American writer Brian Azzarello (100 Bullets, Hellblazer, Batman, Loveless, Banner) and Simon Bisley, British author of famous comics (Lobo, Slaine, Batman, Hulk), illustrator and designer of heavymetal bands’ album covers.

The festival will also host a special guest – Akira Yamaoka from Japan, composer of music for video games and movies, known mainly for his music for Silent Hill (game and movie). Akira Yamaoka will perform at the festival’s gala (Oct 1, 2011) together with the Cool Kids of Death.

There will also be numerous other guests from Poland and abroad. Grzegorz Rosiński will fly straight from Switzerland, Zbigniew ‘Kas’ Kasprzak from Belgium. Kas participated in this year’s City Stories project. The festival’s public will also have a chance to meet Askold Akishin and Mischa Zaslavski – authors of a comics adaptation of the famous novel The Master and Margarita and of course numerous comics artists from Poland.

The program will also feature dedication sessions, workshops for professionals and amateurs, discussions, competitions, live drawing, Miss Comics pageant. Furthermore – the Manga Corner with cosplay and anime movies, the Star Wars zone, computer games zone and kids zone. The festival would not be complete without the Comicsology Symposium (this year is the 11th edition).
Also, the Big Boat of Humour competition will have its finale during the festival. Its goal is to illustrate the famous paradox of Łódź – city whose name means literally ‘a boat’, but which lies nowhere near any river, lake or sea.
