Comics fair in Germany, in Essen

[Alrik]

Hello, everyone.

Just wanted to inform you that next month (October) the German board game fair "Internationale Spieletage" will be held again in Essen, Germany.
www.merz-verlag.com/spiel/e000.php4

There are not only board games (although that's the primary focus), but also a huge role playing games section. You can even buy second hand board games there.
Since this takes place in Germany, the overall language spoken is German, of course.
There are also a few forein companies there, too. I remember a few british ones.

Since a few years it also contains comics sub-faircalled "comic action".

Rather known and rather unknown artists are signing their works there. I'm not much into comics, so I don't understand much of it.

This year, however, I just read, Jan Duursema will be there, too. She is known for her Star Wars comics.
www.comicaction.de/php/index.php?action=news&id=14759 (It's in German, but I'm sure you'll be able to read the names, though. ;D )

I don't know how much feasible this is for you, but perhaps you might pay a visit to it. The overall fair is in German, so don't be surprised.

Sounds like an interesting event, Alrik.

Shame I won't be able to go, but it's a little bit out of my way. I hope you and anyone else able to go have a good time, though.

Jan Duursema is an interesting guest, though, I must admit. I like the work she's done so far on Star Wars: Legacy. It's a pretty good series.

I know about Legacy, but right ow I think I'm not going to buy it. I think I'll rather stick with more "classical" comics.
