What is it?

The Comicon is an annual fair, launched back in 1998, and it is dedicated to comics, cosplays and animation. Over the years, the Comicon has grown into one of Italy’s main comic events, attracting numerous local and international guests ,for example Frank Miller who is an American comic book writer and he is known as one of the greatest comic book writers in the world .

Where and When?

From 1998 to 2011 the festival was held in the Sant’Elmo Castle, in Naples, and after 13 years its location has changed. Now the fair takes place in the Mostra D’OltreMare, in Fuorigrotta, a district in Naples. The days when the Comicon takes place change every year. In 2019 this fair will start on the 25th April and will finish on the 28th.

Why?

We think that the main purpose is to put all the things that a comic book lover wants in the same place and also to bring people, with the same passions, together.
