Also present will be world-renowned comic artist Filipe Andrade, one of the most prominent contemporary illustrators whose works have received the most prestigious international awards.
The fifth edition strengthens the Friday program and the Book Fair Brno
Comic-Con Brno & Junior combines two worlds in its title – the children's and the adult's. The organizers aim to clearly convey that the event is not just for kids, but rather – for all generations who love comics, movies, series, games, and everything related to fandom. The festival will offer not only popular activities for children, such as KinderCosplay, creative workshops, or gaming areas, but also dozens of lectures, discussions, signings, challenging games, and exclusive exhibitions.
This year's Friday program will also be significantly strengthened, which will be part of the multi-day tickets. Fans will gain access not only to the Book Fair Brno but also, starting at 3 PM, to an important part of the Comic-Con program. Fan program lines, cosplay stage, board game area, artist alley, sales zone, and programs with comic authors and cosplayers will be open. This year's program will also include themed exhibitions – for example, Czech and German originals from the legendary sci-fi series Ren Dhark, costumes of princesses from Czech fairy tales, a comic exhibition by Klára Smolíková, or an exhibition of signatures from the Popculture Museum in Jilemnice.
„A large part of the festival will also be an extensive gaming area known from the Festival of Fantasy, which will offer dozens of gaming stations for children and adult visitors. Comic-Con Brno & Junior has long been building on the community atmosphere of the Festival of Fantasy and other fan events that we have been developing in the Czech Republic for more than twenty years. This year, we are also significantly expanding the Friday program so that visitors with multi-day tickets can enjoy a full festival experience starting from Friday afternoon,“ adds Václav Pravda, program director of the festival.
