Comic books & Graphic Novels Festival

The Fête des Bulles will take place from June 10 to June 20, 2016. A small-scale comic book and graphic novel festival, it will gather French authors, Chinese authors and one Belgian author around a common passion.

Other than a firm and thin stroke, drawing comic books requires inspiration and reflection. In Europe, many authors have proven, through magnificent works benefiting from a real plot, that comic books and graphic novels truly are the 9th Art. Not to be outdone, China has seen the rise of talented authors flying the flags of comic books. In a context which is more and more favorable to graphic novels, the Chinese audience must be shown that comic books, far from being solely restricted to children, is a full-fledged adult medium.

Come and explore the extraordinary universe of Benoît Peeters and François Schuiten (The Obscure Cities), Annie Goetzinger (Girl in Dior), Philippe Otié and Li Kunwu (A Chinese Life), Golo, Nie Jun and Wang He.

Event made possible by the support of the Institut Français, Casterman, Dargaud.
