1001 Comics: Big In Belgrade & Algiers!
Posted: October 3, 2011
Thanks to my being invited to the 9th Salon Stripa Comics Festival in Belgrade last weekend, the very first print review coverage anywhere in the world (as far as I am aware) of my new book on sale today in the UK, 1001 Comics You Must Read Before You Die, made it into Serbia’s most respected serious newspaper Politika yesterday, Sunday, 3 October, in this feature article by Vladimir Vukasovic. I was also interviewed twice for local television programmes and will add the online links for these clips as and when they show up.
And next stop for me is the 4th Festival International de la Bande Dessinée in Algiers, whose theme this years is ‘Bubbles without Borders’. I will be giving two talks at FIBDA, including an illustrated lecture about the 1001 Comics book, in French, on Thursday, 5 October, from 2-4pm at the Esplanade OREF, Riadh el Feth. All are welcome. Joining me as the other UK guest this year, courtesy of The British Council, is Oscar Zárate. I am looking foward to this adventure immensely and to meeting other guests such as Frenchmen Alex Barbier and Jacques Ferrandez as well as Algerian cartoonist Slim, all of them spotlighted in this truly global guide!
