Друзья,
приглашаем вас на круглый стол «Комиксы для взрослых. Что это такое?», который состоится на московского международном открытом книжном фестивале 12 июня в 16.30 в ЦДХ в зале Чуфут-Кале.

В России слово «комикс» ассоциируется с развлекательными журналами для детей и подростков. На самом же деле истории в картинках могут быть адресованы и взрослому читателю. В Европе, Японии и США, где уже давно сложилась культура комикса и, соответственно, его рынок, этот жанр рассчитан на любую аудиторию. Что такое комиксы для взрослых и как они создаются – обсудят участники круглого стола, среди которых:

Анджей Климовски (известный художник, иллюстратор, график, автор графических романов)
Даг Уоллас (директор по маркетингу издательства SeldMadeHero, специализирующегося на издании графических романов)
Владимир Морозов (издательство Zangavar)
Михаил Богданов (издательство Комильфо)
Федор Еремеев (издательство Фабрика комиксов)
