The comic book gets it’s own year.

The Atomium Exhibition

Ok this is a quickie.

This year, 2009, The Year of the Comic Book will be celebrated in Brussels you really must go if love comics, cherry beer or Belgian waffles.

The Atomium, has fourteen renowned European comic strip artists pay homage to one of the city’s most recognisable landmarks. Running from 4th June to 20th September, this will run with another exhibition In Search of Atomic Style. My take on the way.

The Belgian Centre of Comic Strip Art, is celebrating its 20th birthday, this year with three themed exhibitions including 20 years of Mangas in Europe an exploration of Japanese Mangakas. I did hear a few comikers refer to a style called Frangas, could it be French manga? I will be posting my experience on the centre soon.
