The festival will take place from Sept. 4 to 6 at the Parc de Bruxelles, in one of the world's comic capitals, the centre of Francophone production.  

The programme includes an exhibition that will present the best Italian comic authors to the Belgian public, accompanied by a performance on the theme. Two famous artists will be present: Sio (the cult author for Scottecs Comics) and Giuseppe Palumbo ("Diabolik", "Ramarro", "Tosca la mosca" and many other characters), as well as Richard Pieruccini (Prussians vs.
  Aliens).

The authors will compete in a variant of the Comic Battle, a clash to the last laugh to take place live in public. (AGI)
