The BD Comic Strip Festival will return to the Gare Maritime in Brussels in September, where comic fans can attend signing sessions, meet authors and watch the traditional giant balloons.So a new spotlight's being offered on manga at a European festival.

On 8, 9 and 10 September, the BD Comic Strip Festival will be back in Brussels with a whole host of activities ranging from signing sessions to meet-and-greets. This year's festival is dedicated to manga, for which a new themed area was opened.
In honour of the 77th anniversary of the publishing house Le Lombard, a real exhibition is being organised on the past, present and future of the well-known publisher. "Visitors will get an overview of 77 years of family comics and get to know the origins of Le Lombard, its pioneers and its heroes," visit.brussels said in a press release.
