A group for fans of British Comics
Convention in South America
Marko Ajdaric, editor of Neorama dos Quadrinhos, the widest Ninth Art newsletter in the world, at http://www.neorama.com.br is organizing the second Coxias de Caxias that will happen in March - and he's on the look out for comics and artists work for it from across the globe, including Britain.
Coxias de Caxias is a kind of comics showroom in Caxias do Sul, the second largest city in Rio Grande do Sul, in southern Brazil. For the next editions, they are already going to show stuff from 45 different Brazilian comics artists.
As 'Coxias' got excellent answers from many publishing houses and artists, Marko is already organizing the same event (especially the EXPOSITION part) to be shown in at least seven cities in Brazil. Four comics festivals in four different countries have already been contacted, and probably the expo will be promoted very far away from the place it began.
The intent is to present different possibilities of comics as a medium. "We are already receiving material that features artists from 30 different countries," says Marko. "That includes albums, collective magazines, comic books and books about comics. We consider this the best way to popularize our medium: putting people in direct contact with good modern comics.
"Unhappily, most Brazilians know only maintstream comics.
"We are pleased to say that we are going to awe everyone with marvelous stuff that comes from 'unsuspected' places like Slovenia, Romania, Chile and Uruguay," he continues. "When you consider that Miriam Katin, Rutu Modan and Shaun Tan come form 'unsuspected' places, too, and you quickly realize comics are being produced in the whole world.
"We are asking for anyone to send us any kind of comics to be presented at the Coxias de Caxias. We won't only expose hentais or similar stuff. Maybe, as in the case of Roman Tolici, a great surprise we got form Romania, your stuff will be on our worldwide expo, that already includes publications with comics signed by artists like Guy Delisle, Marcel Rujiters, Tony Millionaire, Scott Mc Cloud, Joe Sacco, David Lloyd, Miguelanxo Prado, Carlos Nine, Geadimir Smudja, Aleksandar Zograf, Ruben Sosa, David B., Carlos Trillo, Boilet, Nick Abadzis, Hermann, Max Andersson...
So, get in touch with us, let the good comics find good readers
