About Comics Festival
A festival dedicated to the 9th art
The Saint-Jean-d'Angély Comics Festival celebrates the 9th art in all its forms. Organized by the association Les Heures Perdues de la BD, this festival highlights contemporary comic and manga creation, with a particular focus on regional and national authors.
Meet the authors
Each edition hosts a dozen authors who come to share their passion and sign their works. Visitors can interact directly with the creators, discover the behind-the-scenes of comic and manga creation, and leave with signed albums. It's a unique opportunity to meet emerging talents and established authors.
Exhibitions and activities
The Salle Aliénor d'Aquitaine hosts exhibitions of original artwork, panels, and illustrations. Activities for young audiences are offered throughout the day: drawing workshops, introductions to comic creation, and fun discoveries of the world of comics.
Accessible to all
The festival is family-friendly and accessible, with free admission to allow as many people as possible to discover the world of comics and manga.
